In the political hall, Zhao Ding looked at Zheng Juzhong on the side in embarrassment, this old thing was actually old and strong, and after an illness in winter, he still appeared in the political hall.

"Your Majesty is going to have someone welcome Zhao Huan back and send him to Jiangnan." Zhao Ding sighed, he didn't want Li Jing to use such a sinister move, but at the level of the empire, this trick was used just right, and it could make Jiangnan chaotic without much effort.

"I'm afraid the Jin people won't agree." Zhang Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "The Jin people are not stupid, after hearing that Yan Sheng has made a lot of moves in the north, there are many Han students who have already taken refuge in each other, this kind of trick of killing people with a knife, there must be someone among the Jin people who can detect it." Wang Pu and Zheng Juzhong also nodded, only Cao Jing lowered his head on the side to calculate this year's income, as if he hadn't heard it.

"If Zhao Huan can't come back, let Zhao Jin go." Zhao Ding glanced at Zheng Juzhong. In his opinion, the possibility of Zhao Huan coming back is very small, as long as the Jin people are not fools, they will not let Zhao Huan come back, and it is very likely that Zhao Jin will go.

"Let a child go?" Zhang Xiaochun hesitated for a while, although the two countries are at war, anything can happen, and this method is also very normal, but this Zhao Jin is a child after all.

"It's not the blood of the Heavenly Family, if you grow up, maybe what will happen? I don't know how many people in the world want to sit in that chair? Your Majesty is still too merciful. Zheng Juzhong suddenly said lightly.

Zhao Ding and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and after being silent for a while, they heard Zhao Ding say: "Send someone to inform Yan Zonghan in advance, and wait for Yan Zonghan to make a decision!" If you can exchange it for Zhao Huan, it is naturally a good thing, if not, use Zhao Jin! ”

Everyone was silent again when they heard this, although everyone knew that Zhao Jin's fate had probably been determined at this moment, from the perspective of human nature, it was a little inappropriate, but from the perspective of the imperial court, it was still a very cost-effective thing.

"Concubine Zheng, I'll go and say it in person. As long as you can be for my Datang, what is personal sacrifice, Your Majesty is merciful and let him live for two more years, and now it is time to contribute to Datang. Your Majesty can't speak, so let the old minister do it! Zheng Juzhong's face was calm, as if this was not a difficult thing.

Looking at the back of Zheng Juzhong's departure, Zhang Xiaochun sighed: "I said why this old guy was able to survive in the court of Zhao and Song, just because he had such a vicious heart, I also admire it." Everyone also nodded, after all, it was their own grandson, and they threw it out very easily.

"Maybe Yan Zonghan will let Zhao Huan go back to the Southern Song Dynasty." Cao Jing thought for a while and said: "This year's harvest in Hebei is not good, the Jin people want to raise an army of millions, they need a lot of grain and grass, but the land of Hebei is not enough to produce grain this year, and the lower officials estimate that the head of a complete Yan Yanmu still can't be exchanged for Zhao Huan, but if some grain and grass are offered, it will definitely be successful." ”

Zhao Ding and the others glanced at each other and said: "I'm afraid this is impossible, Your Majesty will be afraid of the Southern Song Dynasty this time, plus the loss of the land of Bashu to produce grain, the area along the river has been almost destroyed by Your Majesty, the Southern Song Dynasty will not go north to the Central Plains at least within a year, and in the next year, it will be the best time for Your Majesty's Northern Expedition to attack the Jin people, the Jin people lack food and grass, this is the heavens are helping Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty agree?" ”

Cao Jing's face moved, and he didn't speak in the end, he was in charge of money and food, and all he provided was data, as for the real family and country, it was not something he could consider, and many officials in the court rarely had contact with him.

"Lord Cao, this year's Central Plains, the wind and rain are smooth, presumably the harvest is better, next year Your Majesty will conquer Hebei, the Northern Expedition Youyan, the grain and grass can be prepared?" Zhao Ding looked at Cao Jing and said.

"Although the Jianghuai between this year's losses are relatively large, but the Central Plains, especially Guanzhong, Hedong this year's harvest, the official warehouses have been counted, support until next year's autumn harvest is still possible, if it is not good, the Bashu grain and grass into the Central Plains, the lower officials have let the merchant travel collect the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River along the heavy losses, but Jingxiang area, Liangguang area still has a lot of grain reserves, Xiaguan has played in the Songjiang area to set up a city ship, some merchant ships can go to Champa and other countries to buy grain, In Champa and other countries, rice is mostly harvested three times a year, and there is enough grain and grass to support it. Cao Jing hurried back, when it comes to poetry, Cao Jing is definitely not as good as everyone else, but as long as it is designed to make money and food, Cao Jing will definitely be able to tell the story.

"That's a fitting arrangement." Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but nodded, and had to admit that although Cao Jing was not good in terms of identity and status, he was indeed a person who did practical things, and all the money and food data of the imperial court were in his heart.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Your Majesty will probably have to go on the Northern Expedition in the spring next year, and the grain and grass must be properly arranged, what Your Majesty wants is to hit it with one blow, and I don't want to delay too much time in Hebei, Cao Xiang, in terms of grain and grass raising, you have to put some thought into it." Zhao Ding's eyes flickered and he commanded.

"Grain and grass are naturally raised when the officials are in charge, but where Your Majesty will send troops from, how many routes the troops will be divided into, these have not come out, and I am afraid it will be a little difficult to transport grain and grass to the front line in time." Cao Jing hesitated.

"Your Majesty will arrive in Beijing in two days, and a big court meeting will be held in three days, and the fourth day should be to summon the political hall and the military aircraft department to discuss the matter of sending troops next year, and the fifth day is when Xiu Mu seals the pen, and some things at the end of the year will be dealt with in these two days, and after facing the sealing of the pen, major matters must be dealt with." Zhao Ding nodded, and said with a smile: "This year is like this, next year the world will change drastically, Your Majesty will be able to dominate the world in the end, but the task on us is also very heavy, and we should not take it lightly." There are some things that are inconvenient for Your Majesty to do, and those of us who are courtiers can serve on our behalf. ”

Zhang Xiaochun and others knew that what Zhao Ding was talking about was Zheng Guanyin, although Zheng Juzhong was ruthless and unscrupulous for the sake of power, but he took the initiative to see Zheng Guanyin, wasn't it just to help Li Jing solve this problem?

"What your lord says is very true." Everyone nodded.

Just seven days before the second year of Hongwu, Li Jing's army finally returned to Beijing and was ceremoniously welcomed by the whole of Beijing, and Zhao Ding and other civil and military officials went out to greet him. Compared with Zhao and Song, Li Jing's cultural and martial arts far surpass those of the kings of Zhao and Song, which is why people are so welcome.
