The next day, when the sun rose, the newlyweds and men were reluctant to let go and separate each other's waists.

Yang Congyi got up to cook a meal, waited for the lady who was physically inconvenient to eat, and explained that after she had a good rest at home, he hurried to the city.

I made an appointment yesterday, and today I will meet in the city to sort out all the things that are made by Yi Dou, and there are some unfinished matters, so I will prepare early and complete it quickly.

As soon as I entered the conference hall, I saw Tang Xun and Zhao An waiting in the hall.

"Brother Tang is early, General Zhao is early." Yang Congyi walked in and sat down on the side.

Tang Xun said: "Brother Yang is so full of spring breeze, what is the luck? ”

Zhao An also clenched his fists, and then said: "The day before yesterday, I heard that the prison army brought two ships of military assets and ordnance from Lin'an, and the prison army worked hard. ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Where is it, you are lucky in Quanzhou." ”

As soon as the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they saw Lord Huang coming in slowly, and immediately got up and saluted.

said in unison: "I've seen Lord Huang." ”

"No need to be polite, sit down." Lord Huang sat down in the main seat.

"I came to you today, and I wanted to ask you how you are preparing for the construction of the superintendent. Is it possible to go to sea smoothly within half a month? Lord Huang smiled.

Tang Xun immediately replied: "Lord Hui, all the materials for returning to the ship have been loaded, and the logistics and living materials have also been loaded onto the ship, which is enough to live at sea for a year without worry, and the main ship of Shenzhou is basically arranged, and everyone can board the ship immediately." ”

Zhao An said: "The training of all members of the Xuanwei Army has been completed, which is enough to deal with the enemies and dangers that may be encountered at sea. The Xuanwei army, with 4,500 men, has been properly arranged in each ship, in charge of the tail rudder course, mast and sail, and the liaison and safety of each ship. ”

Lord Huang smiled: "Okay, good, Hui Yi can become a lot of credit to you." Today is the first day of December, and before the twelfth, all the people must board the ship, be ready, and go at any time, possibly? ”

Tang Xun said: "Check and fill in the gaps, and make a little supplement to the materials, and all of them can be boarded and offshore in ten days at the latest." ”

Zhao An said: "The Xuanwei army is ready, and they can leave Quanzhou Port immediately." ”

Lord Huang said: "Okay, I'll leave everything to you." As soon as Lord Dai arrived, he would choose an auspicious time to go to sea on the 15th. ”

Then he said: "This time back to Yi, you have been preparing for nearly a year, it is really hard, I ask for credit for you, and the court has officially approved it." ”

After speaking, he shouted: "Someone." ”

Immediately, there were eunuchs holding documents in their hands and entering the hall.

I only listened to Huang Dadao: "Hui Yi supervised the creation of deputy envoy Tang Xun awarded Cheng Zhonglang, appointed Hui Yi Zuo to join the army, and assisted Hui Yi Zheng envoy and deputy envoy to carry out the purchase and sale of goods and materials required by the imperial court. ”

As soon as the words fell, the attendant eunuch handed a piece of paper to Tang Xun.

Tang Xun took it in his hand and immediately thanked him to the north.

Waiting for Tang Xun to sit down, Lord Huang said again: "Yang Congyi, the deputy envoy of Huiyi, appointed Huiyi to join the army, responsible for managing the supply of crews and logistics materials, and supervising the Xuanwei Army, assisting the deputy envoy of Huiyi to manage the Xuanwei Army. ”

The attendant eunuch handed over another document to Yang Congyi.

What level Bao Yilang is, Yang Congyi didn't know, but he thought that he must have been promoted, so he immediately got up and thanked him to the north.

Lord Huang continued: "Zhao An, the superintendent of the Xuanwei Army, awarded Xiu Wulang as the deputy general of the Xuanwei Army, and assisted the deputy envoy of the Huiyi Army, who is fully responsible for the patrol and combat command of the Xuanwei Army, and guards the safety of the Huiyi. ”

The attendant handed over another document to Zhao An.

Zhao An was very excited to take the paperwork, bowed to the north, and shouted thanks.

"The official family has tried their best to disagree with the public, spent a lot of money to form the Hui Yi fleet, and awarded three important positions, you should know what to ask for. The three of them have been preparing for the return of the trade for nearly a year, and they know everything about the personnel and materials, if they work together, the return of the trade will be successful, and when the fleet brings back five times or ten times the profits, and the three officers are promoted to one level, I can guarantee that they can call the shots. What do the three of you think? ”

Zhao An said: "Lord Huang, rest assured, there are 4,500 elites of the Xuanwei Army, and the final general will be able to keep the Yi fleet unharmed, and the fleet will go to sea safely and come back completely!" ”

Tang Xun said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to make a good return, earn enough profits, and live up to the trust of the official family and the imperial court!" ”

Yang Congyi said: "The lower officials must make every effort to ensure the supply of materials for the entire Huiyi fleet, and ensure that all the staff are not short of food and drink." ”

The three of them expressed their determination one after another, and Lord Huang was very pleased.

"Okay, so I'm relieved. You should remember that this return was facilitated by the government, and the primary purpose was to earn back money and enrich the treasury. As for other things, if you have the energy, you can get involved, and if you can't be busy, don't worry about it. Do you understand? ”

Tang Xun and Zhao An looked at each other, not knowing what Lord Huang meant by this sentence.

"Would you like to make it clear?"

"I might as well tell you that this time the Hui Yi Imperial Court sent an envoy to follow, mainly to represent the Great Song Dynasty to envoy to the Nanyang countries, and secondly, to supervise the Hui Yi and let the money earned back go to the treasury of the Ministry of Households. The matter of the envoy has nothing to do with us, Dai Cong will bring someone to do it specifically, and we will just provide food and drink. The matter of returning to the government is led by the official family, and all the money made needs to be put into the inner treasury, and Dai Cong can ask about it, but don't let him interfere directly. Have you all remembered? ”

Lord Huang said very clearly, this Dai Cong was sent by the imperial court to pick peaches, and he did not participate when he returned to Yi to supervise the creation, and when everything was ready, he wanted to send an envoy to take away the power of Hui Yi, and he also wanted to compete with the official family for money and transfer the profits earned to the household department, how could there be such a good thing.

The three of them nodded immediately, and Tang Xun said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will report everything to your lordship, and the gold and silver earned and the goods exchanged for will be clearly reported to your lordship." ”

Lord Huang nodded and said, "Okay." General Zhao and Yang joined the army, you two should not have too much contact with Dai Cong, the fleet docked along the way, you lead the Xuanwei Army to protect the safety of the fleet, the mission has an accompanying forbidden army to escort, if necessary, you can send people to accompany you to protect, and you must not cause extraneous branches and affect the return to Yi. ”

"Yes." Zhao An and Yang Congyi agreed in unison.

"Okay, I came to you today, and I told you these things from the bottom of my heart, the ultimate goal is to do a good job and make enough money, and then the inner treasury will be abundant, and the official family will be happy, and there will be any rewards, not to mention that the official will be promoted to one level, and even two or three levels will be promoted. I hope the three of you will keep these words in mind today! ”

After speaking, Lord Huang glanced at the three of them and put away the smile that had always hung on his face.

The three of them did not hesitate, and they should say yes in unison.

"That's all for today, and you're going to get busy. If you don't decide something, come back to me. ”

The three of them got up, said goodbye and left.

Outside the door, the three of them congratulated each other and congratulated each other on their promotion.

Then Zhao An left first, and the safety of the three ports was now all on him, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Yang Congyi and Tang Xun are not in a hurry, the materials and personnel are basically ready, and they only need to be checked and supplemented.

The two walked back to the place where they returned to Yi Duzao, and they didn't see each other for many days, so naturally they had a lot of things to talk about.

The most important of these is, of course, the problem between Lord Huang and the envoy, and the problem between them is estimated to involve the contradiction between the imperial power and the courtiers.

The household treasury belongs to the state, and any money in and out, especially the branches, needs to be coordinated by the prime minister and the ministries before it can be spent, and the emperor wants to approve the use of money, and if the courtiers think that the expenditure is unreasonable, it will naturally be dismissed, and the use of wealth in the royal inner court is restricted, so it is natural to find another way, so the treasury is listed separately, which is specially for the royal service, and it is for the inner treasury.

Every year, the household department will allocate a part of the wealth to the inner treasury according to the annual financial budget, and if the royal expenditure is large, the money in the inner treasury will be far from enough. Zhao Gou ran all the way from Bianjing to Jiangnan, and finally built the capital Lin'an, when a hundred wastes were waiting to be revived, he fought with the Jin State for more than ten years, and thieves rebelled all over the country, such as today's initial decision, the wealth is limited, the royal family wants to use money, and the imperial court departments also have to use money, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the royal family and the scholars share the world, if the courtiers are all in the mouth, the people are noble and the monarch is light, and the problems of the people must be solved first, the problem of the world's society, Zhao Gou as the emperor also has to retreat. Does he dare to kill this great Song for his own enjoyment? He didn't dare.

If you don't dare, you need money, so you have to find a way. Ocean return is a good way, aside from the courtiers, he found someone to do it himself, and the money he earned naturally had to go into the inner treasury for the royal use.

As the emperor, you must also follow the ancestral teachings and rules, and it is impossible to do whatever you want. Since the beginning of his own world, the imperial power has always contradicted the prime minister's power, so in some periods, the prime minister has been changed very frequently, one a year, or even several a year, just because the prime minister and the emperor are not in harmony.

At this time, the reason why Qin Hui sat firmly on the position of prime minister for more than ten years was just flattery, won the heart of Zhao Gou, and put forward the plan of "south from south, north from north", and strongly advocated giving up the north, Song and Jin negotiated peace, so that Zhao Gou's throne sat stable.

But Qin Hui is not a dog of Zhao Gou, as the prime minister for more than ten years, I don't know how many people are his inside and outside the government and the opposition, and as time goes by, the more stable the status and the greater the desire, it is natural to have dirty and contradictions with Zhao Gou. In the face of the temptation of power, any alliance is fragile, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui are the same, no matter how obedient they were before, when Qin Hui has enough power, he will have his own ideas, to establish his own authority, otherwise he, the prime minister, is a puppet in the eyes of others, the most effective way to erect authority is to fight with the imperial power, fight, as long as the imperial power is won, who else inside and outside the court will dare to disobey!

Therefore, this time, the matter of returning to Yi, starting from the dispute between the envoys, it is estimated that Zhao Gou and the prime minister are not in harmony, and their opinions cannot be unified, otherwise why would the appointment of a Huiyi envoy be entangled and debated for a month and still not determined.

Yang Congyi was okay with history when he was in school, and when each dynasty fell, the last page was full of lessons and lessons, and the questions in front of him were brought into the book, and the answers could be easily found. But he couldn't say too much about these things to Tang Xun, because they didn't fit his knowledge and cognition as a martial arts student.

After the two briefly chatted about the possible grievances between Lord Huang and the envoy, they invariably diverted the topic, now they are also officials, and the affairs of the court should not be discussed casually.

Half an hour later, the two went to the port together.
