"Half a month?" Although Zhao Ji also knew that there would be no abundance of grain and grass on the side of the third division, he still couldn't help but look ugly at this time.

"Your Majesty, the forbidden army is responsible for the safety of the Beijing Division, the morale of the army must not be lost, and the grain and grass must not be moved lightly." The privy envoy Lu Gongbi stood up and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, considering the consumption of grain and grass on the road, as well as the number of people used, it is most appropriate to use the grain and grass relief of the soldiers of several prefectures and counties in Hedong." Wang Anshi sighed lightly, his heart was full of guilt, if the implementation of the equalization method was smooth, and the transfer divisions handed over as much money as last year, the grain and grass of the imperial court would not be so nervous.

Wen Yanbo stood up expressionlessly and said lightly: "Your Majesty, Hedong is facing the Liao State, although the border army has another supply of grain and grass, but the morale of the Hedong Xiang soldiers is equally important. ”

Lu Gongbi glanced at Wen Yanbo, and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, let the local officials solve the problem of the Hedong Xiangbing, I think there will be no big problem with the shortage of grain and grass for a month or two, but the time should not be longer than two months, otherwise it will inevitably cause chaos." ”

Zhao Ji sighed: "The only way to do this is the only way to go." The government hall and the Privy Council immediately issued an order, so that the Hedong Zhulu must raise enough grain and grass for a month's worth of 100,000 troops within half a month, and mobilize the people to send it to Dashun City. ”

Han Qi and Lu Gongbi bowed down and agreed, and immediately sent their subordinates to make arrangements.

Wu Chong asked again: "Your Majesty, how will the holes in the grain and grass of the soldiers in the Hedong Zhulu be repaired in more than a month." ”

After a pause, Wu Chong added before the Son of Heaven and the others spoke: "All summer taxes and autumn taxes have been planned, some of them are used for disaster relief in three places, and the time for the New Year of the Liao State is also coming up, there is no excess at all, unless there is a shortage of some officials first." ”

Wu Chong's words actually blocked all other possibilities at once, and disaster relief and the gift of the Liao State were naturally indispensable.

And if the officials do not send it, it does not mean that they are afraid that these officials will not be able to live, nor are they afraid that these officials will make trouble, the main thing is that if this matter is spread, it will inevitably expose the financial reality of the imperial court, which will lead to a series of uncontrollable negative impacts, and may even let the Western Xia Kingdom know that it will deliberately delay the war, and even attract the evil wolf of the Liao State to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Zhao Ji forcibly suppressed the anger and depression in his heart, looked at Wang Anshi, and said, "Wang Aiqing, can the transfer divisions hand over some profits in advance?" ”

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said, "If you forcibly give an order, you will naturally be able to hand over some profits, but this is also a drop in the bucket." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head in disappointment, remembering that Zhang Bin had told him that he could raise two million yuan in a month......

It's just that...... Zhang Bin's bidding law must first abolish the equalization law, this matter is too involved, and it cannot be discussed in front of civil and military officials in this kind of scene and situation.

………

………

As Zhang Bin expected, he was summoned by the Son of Heaven again.

But he entered the palace in a hurry, and left the palace depressed.

The Son of Heaven carefully asked him about the method of bidding, but in the end he still did not make up his mind.

Zhang Bin really realized Zhao Ji's indecisiveness.

"No matter, I've tried my best, I can only wait for the Son of Heaven and Wang Anshi to decide, I'll still look at the house first." With Zhang Bin's current identity, there is nothing that can be done about the future.

When he returned to the post house, Kaifeng Mansion Hu Cao sent a small official over, saying that the house rewarded by the Son of Heaven was ready and asked him to go to the inspection.

Looking at your own new house, if you don't have to pay for it, it is naturally a very pleasant thing.

Zhang Bin took the excited Zhu Niang and the smirking tiger head, as well as Li Siwa and other six veterans who were also excited, and followed the officials of the third division to Jinshui Lane in the west of the city.

Although it was a house given by the emperor himself, the attitude of the little officials was not very enthusiastic.

It's no wonder that whether it is the mansion given by the Son of Heaven, or the mansion given by the imperial court to some high-ranking officials, it is all on the ground of Kaifeng Mansion, and in the end, it is the Kaifeng Mansion Hu Cao who is responsible for the specific implementation.

But when Zhang Bin gave the official the usual money, the official's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he actively introduced Zhang Bin.

This house is not big, even slightly larger than Zhang Bin's house in Dashun City, covering an area of only three or four acres.

As in all houses in those years, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a gray-white wall with a lime surface, blocking all the view of the courtyard outside the door.

Around the wall is a small garden, there is a corridor of more than ten meters in the middle of the garden, and in the middle of the corridor is also the middle of the garden, there is a pavilion with a stone table and stone bench, and the end of the corridor is the main hall of the front hall.

The main hall is very exquisitely built, more than two zhang high, there are three bays on the left and right, and there are two huge pillars at the main entrance of the front hall which are quite eye-catching.

The paintings on the pillars have been mottled and peeled off, but just look at the remnants to know that they are from the hands of famous artists.

"Official, this house has always been official property, but no one has lived in it for more than five years, five years ago it was a member of the Ministry of Officials who lived in it, but the man was convicted of running away, and the house was empty."

"Convicted of smuggling? What happened to make a seven-grade foreigner able to escape from the capital? After all, Zhang Bin was a guest of his own house, and Zhang Bin had some interest.

"What this foreigner committed was very taboo at that time, and it was not clear as a villain, but Kaifeng Mansion also assisted Dali Temple to find someone, and the villain knew something about how he escaped." As he spoke, the little official had already led everyone through the main hall of the front hall, crossed the front door, and came to the middle courtyard, "Dali Temple finally said that it was convicted and escaped, but the matter is also strange, this foreigner has no clue to leave the capital at all, or even leave this house, as if the whole person disappeared from this house out of thin air." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and didn't take it to heart, such a strange case has not been known since ancient times, it can only show that the foreign man is clever, and the people in Kaifeng Mansion and Dali Temple are not clear, how can anyone disappear out of thin air.

What's more, more than five years have passed since this incident, and Zhang Bin quickly forgot about it.

……

After all, it is an official property that only officials are qualified to live in, and although the house is not large, it is also equipped with a lot of officials.

Two before and after, sixteen rooms, four and a half rooms, three contains, Xiamen five, passing eleven, two phi, three coercion, ** a total of three.

After crossing the middle gate and entering the inner courtyard, there is a small garden with a length and width of about ten meters, which is even more exquisite.

However, the space is a little cramped, in addition to the main house where the master lives, there are four wing rooms on the left and right, and there are three side rooms on each side for the next person to live, and there are some indents inward.

PS: I'm sorry, but it's my son's third birthday tonight, so it's a little late.
