Chapter 759: Shameless
"His Royal Highness King Kang, just now?" Zhang Bangchang looked at Zhao Gou in front of him, and was silent for a while before asking. Jin Ren was so polite, he was very curious in his heart, and after waiting for a while, he asked at this time, which already showed that his patience was already very good.
"Thirty thousand stone of grain, and some gold goods." Zhao Gou said casually: "In the huge Bianjing City, 30,000 stone of grain should be able to be easily taken out. As for the gold, he didn't say that although Zhao Ji had spent a lot of money over the years, there was still a lot of gold in Ouchi, and a few hundred taels of gold was nothing.
"Thirty thousand stones?" Zhang Bangchang's face changed, and he said in a lost voice: "How can the imperial court have so much food, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops for such a long time, there is a lot of food consumed every day, and the consumption of the people in Bianjing City is also a huge number, I am afraid that it is difficult for the imperial court to get so much food in a short period of time." ”
"How is that possible? Bianjing is well connected in all directions, and there are many merchant ships coming every day, so how can there be no food? Zhao Gou was very surprised, as a prince, he was high, naturally he didn't know the situation here, there would be a shortage of food in the huge Bianjing City, which was simply unimaginable, but it happened again.
"There is a lot of consumption, the big family originally wanted to leave Bianjing, but was stopped by Zong Ze, so he could only desperately buy grain, so that there was a shortage of grain on the market, but Zong Ze asked the official family to open a warehouse to release grain, so that the food of the imperial court was also reduced, in normal times, 30,000 stone of grain can naturally be easily obtained, but now it is uncertain." Zhang Bangchang smiled bitterly. Although his talent is not very good, he is also the person who has become the prime minister and knows the situation.
"This, how is this good?" Zhao Gou felt bitter in his heart at this time.
"It's no wonder Your Highness, it's only because of the greed of the gold people that they have become like this, and the withdrawal of the gold people who can exchange 30,000 stone grain and some gold and silver is already very good." Zhang Bangchang comforted: "Even if there are some difficulties, but how rich my Great Song is, I will be able to get it together soon." I can't say that after His Royal Highness returns to Beijing this time, he can still be praised by the official family? ”
Zhao Gou felt bitter in his heart, he had never thought of this problem, now after going back, if he can't get together 30,000 stone of food, I'm afraid Zhao Huan will also find trouble for himself, and his face was gloomy for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
Zhang Bangchang saw it in his eyes and hurriedly said: "It may be difficult to take out 30,000 stone of grain, but as long as the Jin people withdraw their troops, Bianjing City will soon return to normal, and it is okay to temporarily ask for some grain from those merchants and big households, and return it to them next year." Your Highness need not worry. ”
"Hey, it's disturbing the people." Zhao Gou smiled bitterly. To requisition the people's food, for the time being, it is a waste of effort, more importantly, in this way, will the grain be returned to those people, this is the most important, in order to redeem Youzhou, ask for money from the people, tens of millions of dollars have been intercepted by those people, the same is true of the current situation, Zhao Gou is a little disbelievable, will the grain that was collected be returned to those people?
Zhang Bangchang smiled bitterly, where can these officials be so easy to speak, 30,000 stone grain to those lower-level officials, I am afraid it will become 100,000 stone grain, this is no way, even the high Son of Heaven has no way. It's just that he won't say anything about this matter, and he is also a vested interest in it, so how can he meet these things again.
"Is it His Royal Highness King Kang in front?" At this time, several horsemen galloped in the distance, the cavalry was dressed in black armor, and the leader was handsome, who was not Hua Rong.
"The general is?" Zhao Gou's face changed, and at this time, Li Jing's people came to look for him, I am afraid it may not be a good thing.
"Under the command of the King of the Tang Dynasty, Hua Rong, the deputy commander of the Guards, on the orders of the king, I invite His Royal Highness King Kang to go to Yixu." Hua Rong said solemnly. It's just that his eyes flickered, and a hint of strangeness haunted him.
"Li Jing has something to look for me?" Zhao Gou hesitated for a while, glanced at Zhang Bangchang, he had already contacted Jin Ren privately, and then contacted Li Jing privately at this time, and when he returned to the imperial court, God knows what would happen. Zhao Huan is suspicious by nature, knowing that if he comes into contact with Li Jing, he will definitely be unlucky.
"Your Highness, why don't you go and see what Li Jing wants to do." Zhang Bangchang saw Zhao Gou's hesitation, and immediately spoke. Even if they come into contact with Li Jing, it is impossible for the two to become allies, Li Jing is ambitious and bent on seizing the Zhao and Song dynasties, it can be said that the two are enemies, how can there be an alliance.
"General Flower, please." Zhao Gou nodded, as long as Zhang Bangchang followed behind, even if someone said something in the future, at least someone would help him be a witness.
It's just that when he saw a small pavilion in the distance, the whole person was not good, although it was a little distance, but for his own mother, Zhao Gou could still know, when, his mother, who lived deep in the palace, actually appeared outside Bianjing City, and was with Li Jing, Zhao Gou instantly felt that the sky had fallen, and the whole person was quietly riding on the horse, not knowing what to do.
"Your Highness." Zhang Bangchang, who was behind him, didn't know Wei, and when he saw Zhao Gou's appearance, he immediately reminded: "Your Highness, Li Jing is in the pavilion in front of you, don't slack off." ”
Zhao Gou only reacted at this time, looked back at Zhang Bangchang with an ugly face, and said, "Master Zhang, wait a while, Xiao Wang saw an acquaintance and wanted to meet him in person." "No matter what, this is a scandal, whether it is for himself or for the entire Zhao Song, when it spreads, Zhao Gou has no luster on his face.
"Good, good. Your Highness please. Zhang Bangchang seemed to see something, looking at the beautiful woman in the distance, although he couldn't see the origin of the woman, but she looked good, obviously extremely beautiful, and thought of Li Jing's rumors, sighed in his heart, and looked at Zhao Gou with some pity, and it was not an ordinary difficulty to compete with Li Jing for a woman.
Wei in the pavilion had already stood up, looking at Zhao Gou who came slowly, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, seeing his son return safely, Wei was naturally very happy, but looked at Li Jing beside him, slightly embarrassed, his age was above Li Jing, and he was the imperial concubine of Zhao Song, but now he was by Li Jing's side, especially in the face of his son, Wei didn't know how to face Zhao Gou for a while.
"The world is complicated, Zhao Gou is young, some things can only be experienced to know everything in the world, in the face of power, if you can't resist, you can only endure it. What's more, sooner or later, we will meet, where are you happy with Zhao Ji by my side, he should bless you and me. Li Jing seemed to see the complexity in Wei's heart, and said indifferently. If he could, Li Jing would not want to see Zhao Gou in this situation, but if he sees him today, he will be an enemy in the future, and it doesn't hurt to see him.
Webster glanced at Li Jing, he had never seen such a brazen person.
