In November of that year, Zhao Xing returned to Hangzhou with a large army, and he attacked T|, and there was no record in all the official documents since then.

Legend has it that Zhao Xing issued a strict no-tongue order on the way, prohibiting the soldiers from talking about the expedition, when the soldiers landed on the shore, there were also good things to ask about the details of the battle, but the soldiers did not answer, and the interesting thing is that whenever someone asked them, they always showed a confused smile, and it was not until a few years later that someone found the answer from the history of Japan...... But then they all fell silent.

The official document records Zhao Xing's battle this time: In the autumn of the third year of Xuanhe, Taishi heard that the Jurchen of the East China Sea had changed, and led a large army to attack the East China Sea.

At the same time, the Jin people recorded this stele, and it is rumored that after the Heishui Jurchens unified the Jurchen tribes, they also invited the fierce East China Sea Jurchens to join their ranks, but when the Jurchen tribes crossed the river and invaded the Song realm, the East China Sea Jurchens saw Zhao Xing's soldiers appear, and immediately mutinied, and fled back to their hometowns without looking back......

In the same month, not long after Zhao Xing set foot in Hangzhou, Han Zhongyan of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau died of old age, and the imperial court issued an edict to hang him, and at the same time added the title of Han Zhongyan Guogong, and Hou Meng succeeded him and successfully took over the position of the capital of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. At the same time, somewhere in Suzhou, the famous general Yue Fei spent his second birthday.

After he entered the palace, he first accepted the questioning of the Privy Council, and then Zhang Shangying, the chief executive on duty, asked him a few words, and then relayed: "Go to the forbidden middle, the official family wants to see you." ”

In the Zichen Palace, King Yan, the prince of the prison country, nodded slightly at Liu Zhongwu, Liu Zhongwu said goodbye and entered the forbidden middle under the guidance of Gong E.

Song Huizong was still painting at the desk, and there was rice standing next to him, he looked around obliviously, as if he was very impatient with the emperor's creativity. There is also a young man standing respectfully next to the emperor's painting case, this is Zhang Zeduan, the new official of the painting academy.

Song Huizong was impatient to be disturbed by others when he created it, Liu Zhongwu nodded silently at the two of them, and quietly found a seat to sit down by himself. After a long time, Song Huizong stopped his pen, glanced at the painting with satisfaction, and turned to ask Mi: "How is this picture?" ”

Mi looked at the sky with two eyes, revealing more white eyes than black eyes, and replied: "It's just barely in sight!" ”

Mi's arrogance is famous in the Great Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong did not blame him, he looked left and right, Liu Zhongwu appeared, and sighed softly, maybe he was missing Cai Jing at this moment.

Liu Zhongwu immediately surrendered his hand: "Qin Fenglu's new Jingluo government envoy Liu Zhongwu was summoned to play right. Please contact the government. ”

Song Huizong sighed again. Then. Zhou Bangyan walked out from the side of the hall. He was a Hanlin attendant. The duty is to record the words and deeds of the emperor. So that the historian could write the "Living Record". Song Huizong looked at Zhou Bangyan. Said helplessly: "Liu Qing." This is not a good way to enter the edict. You don't need to keep track of what you say or do, do you? ”

Zhou Bangyan bowed his hand slightly: "Official." The Liu government went to Qin Feng. To the officials is to record the play to the ground. ”

The official family asked a few questions casually with the strength to do so. After the formulaic Q&A. The official waved his hand: "Zhuqing." Stand down. I have a few whispers. Ask Liu Qing. ”

Zhou Bangyan replied: "The king is selfless. Heavenly family selfless affairs......"

Song Huizong waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I want to ask about the affairs of Changguo, this is a family matter, and it involves personal affairs, Zhou Qing should let it go, right?" ”

Zhou Bangyan reluctantly retired, he left, Mi was even more straightforward, he flicked his sleeves, and trotted away, and then Zhang Zeduan also gave up.

When there was no one in the hall, Song Huizong carefully put down the brush, sorted out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had used one by one, and then looked at the table with satisfaction, and felt that the position of the inkstone was not very perfect, he stretched out his hand to correct the inkstone, and said casually: "This inkstone is produced in Duanzhou, when I was diving, Zhao Liren sent hundreds of square inkstones every year, as well as Mizhou stone made of dense inkstones...... How is Zhao Qing doing now? Is it still that laid-back? ”

Liu Zhongwu faintly guessed what Song Huizong meant after the conspiracy of the staff headquarters, and he replied softly: "Zhao Liren is very enjoyable, the family has a constant banquet at four o'clock, there is an endless stream of local businessmen in Hangzhou, and officials from the five states and six roads under his jurisdiction often come to visit, of course, the most in his courtyard are the officers of various armies, those officers like to stay in the Tibetan building in the West Garden, and the ministers talk to them and benefit a lot." ”

Liu Zhongwu warned Song Huizong in disguise: Zhao Xing never left the army by his side, he lived in a fortified castle, and his local power was deeply rooted, and no one dared to fight his crooked ideas.

What Liu Zhongwu has not said is that there is no shortage of ministers in the DPRK and the central government who are eager for quick success, and in order to curry favor with the emperor, they may be impeached by the emperor, but the little emperor had better not think about such a good thing, because Zhao Xing preemptively established a centrist party based on the Soviet Party when Su Dongpo died......

Song Huizong seemed to understand Liu Zhongwu's hint, and he asked softly again: "How is the momentum of the Nanyang Yamen?" ”

Liu Zhongwu arched his hand and replied solemnly: "The ministers have been in the army for many years, and they have also read all the armies in various places, but they have never seen soldiers like the Nanyang Yamen. ”

Liu Zhongwu's words were still a warning, he reminded Song Huizong: Come on, don't think crookedly about you, the ridiculous emperor, Zhao Xing has a high prestige in the army, and the strategy of differentiation is not necessary at all, Shuai Fan is unwilling to go, Wan Qiyong is unwilling to go, although General Xiaoshi is out of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, the official position given is not low, and he commands all the people of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, but he does not dare to fart to the teacher.

Song Huizong waved his hand tiredly, as if talking to himself, and said: "The 36th Army of the Beijing Division has now been reduced to 12 armies, with less than 50,000 people. ”

Liu Zhongwu arched his hand and replied: "The desire of the people is irreversible!" ”

At this point, Song Huizong had thoroughly understood Liu Zhongwu's position, he waved his hand weakly, and said: "Retreat, let me think about it." ”

Liu Zhongwu was reluctant to go like this, he arched his hand and continued: "The official family, the minister is here to congratulate the official family, today's world is an unprecedented prosperous era, my emperor and Song Dynasty's annual coinage has exceeded the record of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the wealth of the people of our emperor and Song Dynasty is also unimaginable to the people of the Han and Tang Dynasties...... Speaking of which, the politics of our emperor and the Song Dynasty were clear, and the tolerance of scholars and doctors was relaxed, and it was also more than the previous dynasties, which was a prosperous era without the ancients.

Think about it

The first emperor began to come to the dynasty, I was pleased and convinced by the attention of the people, and the Taishi with his own strength, so that Wanli Haixiang sincerely with his own wealth to support my Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty to create such a prosperous era of Xuanhe, future generations of descendants to think of it, must be very praised, the minister for His Majesty to congratulate, such a great cause, although the rule of three generations can not reach also. ”

Liu Zhongwu said: Come on, our Daojun Emperor, don't toss, don't keep thinking about changing the law. The current situation is all thriving, you have nothing to paint, play with your art, do nothing, you can usher in an eternal prosperous era, even the era of Yao Shunyu is not as beautiful as this era, you eat and sleep every day, you can win a Ming Jun through the ages, why not.

Liu Zhongwu said that this is unprecedented, in fact, although Song Huizong acted absurdly, in real history, the Xuanhe era is still the apex of ancient Chinese civilization, and the tax achievements it has achieved and the wealth of the common people cannot even reach China in the 21st century.

Liu Zhongwu said this sincerely, after the last court turmoil, anyone who is not blind understands that if the emperor is allowed to continue to be absurd, the country will become out of control.

What he said is also a truth, there is no shortage of people with lofty ideals in the past dynasties of China, their means of governing the country are high, as long as the emperor is an idiot, an idiot who can't even toss and only knows how to enjoy, the history of ancient China will be completely different, however, the last thing the emperors of the previous dynasties want to do is to be an idiot who will not toss, they would rather be a "more than defeated" mentally retarded, the reason is nothing more than two words: power.

Liu Zhongwu made his position clear, Song Huizong looked a little impatient, he waved his hand, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Gao Yanshi Gao Yu is also in Shaanxi, you may be able to see him here, help me bring a greeting." ”

Liu Zhongwu said goodbye, and added intentionally or unintentionally: "In the guards brought by the minister, there is a team of soldiers who were personally selected by Zhao Liren, and the minister heard that this was asked by Gao Taiwei from the Taishi, so the Taishi was extremely cautious and personally selected these soldiers......

When Song Huizong heard this, the look of despair on his face was finished, and his last straw was also pulled.

Thinking about it, Song Huizong suddenly felt creepy, how did you say that Zhao Xing calculated so accurately, his last hope was pinned on Tong Guan and Gao Yu, but Tong Guan got to know Zhao Xing earlier than him, and Gao Yu was completely Zhao Xing's fellow party, and the friendship between the two was not ordinarily deep. How could Zhao Xing pry away his last pillar in advance, could it be that this person really has the ability of ghosts and gods, and can know his every step in advance.

Song Huizong sat in the main hall, cranky and forgot the time, I don't know when the queen led Gong'e to come in and give him the lamp, Song Huizong was awakened by Gong'e's work, he saw the queen, shook his head helplessly, and asked weakly: "Queen, did the Wang family send people to Hangzhou to study?" ”

The queen was startled, swept left and right, waved her hand to order the eunuch Gong'e to retreat, and then sincerely persuaded her: "Official, I know what you have in mind, Yanfu Palace has been demolished, Yue has demolished, and 100,000 Gong'e has been dismissed, this is not for the official family, this move has won the appreciation of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and the people of Beijing applauded, if the official family is unwilling, it is inevitable that someone will do Huo Guangyi's actions." ”

Huo Guang and Yi Yi both had because of the absurdity of the emperor, and they did the action of abolishing the emperor and then supporting the new monarch. The queen reminded the emperor that she meant it to Liu Zhongwu: Don't toss!

After a pause, the queen further explained her meaning more clearly: "Speaking of which, there is no better place to be in charge of the current ruler than Zhang Xiang and Huang Xiang, although Zhang Xiang is a grass on the wall, his reputation surpasses that of Zhu Shilin; Although Huang Xiang is a brother with that person, he is impartial, and he makes all kinds of restrictive actions on the surface to restrict that person from going further.

These things, the people of the world and Shilin are all in the eyes, who doesn't praise Huang Xiang for doing things straightforwardly, that person is open-minded. Official, do you estimate that if you change another person, you can make all kinds of restrictive actions as clearly as Huang Xiang, but it won't anger the tiger? If you change another person, can you get such a huge amount of wealth for my Great Song? ”

Although Song Huizong is absurd, he still understands things, although the queen's words are not listened to, Song Huizong can only nod: "This is also reasonable." Just ......"

What Song Huizong wanted to say was: Only the king won't, how good the word Cai Jing said at the beginning, but now although the entire Great Song Dynasty is full of wealth, how much can he enjoy as an emperor, how much can he enjoy as an emperor, like when Cai Jing was there, he can enjoy the wealth of the world as he wants.

Song Huizong didn't say this after all, because the queen was born in a family of generals, and her education since she was a child was rigorous and self-controlled, and the queen couldn't even get used to the absurdity of him and Cai Jing and others in the past, and Zhao Xing joined forces with hundreds of officials to drive away the 100,000 palace laves, maybe the queen was secretly happy in her heart.

Thinking of this, Song Huizong felt that he was so lonely. The population of the Emperor Song Dynasty was hundreds of millions, but he was so lonely, he felt very cold, shivered all over, and let the queen hold hands and walk into the palace.

In Hangzhou, it is time for the year-end audit again, and the Yamen of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau is crowded with people, no less than a large vegetable market, and the officials are in a hurry with all kinds of files in their arms, and they shuttle through the offices of various buildings, hand over documents, and urge the clerks. At this time, Wan Qianyong, Shuai Fan and Zhao Xing seemed very leisurely, and the three of them stood in the large office on the top floor, looking at the endless flow of cars and horses in the square in front of the building through the glass window, and seemed to have nothing to do.

This office seems to be a children's playroom, and there are not only Zhao Xing's three children, Zhao Yun, who have not returned home, but also the children of Shuai Fan and Wan Qianyong, who are chasing and frolicking in front of the sand and desks, and also bringing Keju to kick and play.

Through the glass window, Wan Qiyong stared at the people below, shook the teacup in his hand, and said leisurely: "What officials from all walks of life want to know most now is whether it will be tax-free next year." ”

According to the unspoken rules, officials can do a lot of tricks in tax collection, so officials don't like the imperial court to be exempt from taxes, because not taxing will reduce their income. The power of the unspoken rules is so great that even the generous subsidies given to officials by the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, coupled with donations from local village elders' associations, have made officials impatient with tax cuts. At present, in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Yamen, several officials have secretly collected taxes from the common people under various pretexts, and have been dismissed from their posts after being reported by the village elders' association, but there are still many officials who are ready to succeed each other.

Zhao Xing hadn't answered yet, and Shuai Fan interjected with a smile: "What's the matter, Yayan is also worried?" Didn't we negotiate a 10-year tax cut strategy to make it a common practice? ”

Zhao Xing replied next: "Reduction, this year's tax is still reduced, and this year's fiscal and tax will maintain the proportion of last year, and the excess tax will be paid...... I plan to not only refund the tax to the merchants, but also let the people share the dividends of the tax.

In this way, start with Hangzhou, and put a shopping coupon of 600 wen per household, so that they can use this coupon to go

When shopping, the merchant can offset the tax to the government with this coupon, so that the people and the merchant can enjoy the tax refund together. ”

The reason contained in the shopping voucher is very complicated, the merchant sells ten yuan of goods, which not only contains the cost of the goods, but also includes the profit that the merchant should enjoy, and also includes the tax they should pay, and the face value of the shopping coupon is directly offset against the tax, which means that the merchant also enjoys the tax reduction.

This complicated truth couldn't be explained for a while, but Wan Qianyong and Shuai Fan didn't care, they firmly believed that Zhao Xing's approach was reasonable, and Wan Qianyong couldn't help but add: "600 Wen per household, too little, Hangzhou is currently 750,000 households, and it has only cost less than 500,000 yuan, which can be a little stronger." ”

Shuai Fan directly suggested: "Each household is always five, and the price is right." Nowadays, prices are high, what can you do with the consistent five? ”

Wan Qiyong nodded: "The price of grain has also come up, since we began to buy grain last year, the price of grain has slowly risen, but it has suffered the people of Liao, many Khitan people feel that farmers have been farming for a year, it is better to sell them, many people simply tied up with a rope, and sent them to Tianjin City to sell to Song merchants. ”

Under this year's policy of economic aggression, the Great Song Dynasty fully opened the grain ban to Liao, and a large amount of cheap grain was ground into flour and sold to Liaoguo in bags and bags, causing grain prices in Liaoguo to plummet. The Khitan nobles of the Liao State are not economic idiots, they settle the accounts, and now the price of wool and livestock has risen very much, and it is better to raise sheep and livestock to grow grain, so a large number of farmers were packaged and sold by them, leaving only the herdsmen who know how to livestock.

Under this trend, I heard that grass has been planted on the streets of many cities in Liao, and Liao's economy has gradually shifted to animal husbandry, relying on the sale of livestock products in exchange for living resources, and this change is exactly what Zhao Xing expects to see.

Talking about Liao, Zhao Xing immediately asked Shuai Fan: "What is the situation in Liao?" ”

Shuai Fan shook his head: "The Bohai Kingdom has never broken through Liaoyang Mansion, and now their forces are limited to the Linhai side. I think it's already like this, and I don't think there will be a big show in two or three years. It is said that in the battle this autumn, the Liao State lost 100,000 cavalry, and the loss of the Wanyan people was not small, and the county towns on the border of the Liao State had been equipped with artillery, and the Wanyan people used stone artillery to bombard, and the war had completely evolved into a contest between gunpowder, and now, it depends on who can hold on. ”

Zhao Xing pondered and replied: "Liao is a big country, its territory is far larger than the Great Song Dynasty, the Khitan has been established for almost a thousand years, their power can not be weakened for a while and a half, where do you think we will fan the flames next?" ”

Wan Qiyong replied unhappily: "Come on, you two are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, didn't we say that it would take a few years to cultivate and recuperate?" ”

Shuai Fan ignored Wan Qianyong's opposition and insisted: "Western Xia, the plundering policy implemented by Huanqing has paralyzed the Jianing military division and the Jinling military division, and they have created a no-man's land of 200 miles along the border, and the Liao State has no time to look south, and now is a good time to clean up the Western Xia." ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It's a pity that the imperial court won't let us meddle in Western Xia." ”

Shuai Fan instigated: "If the Taishi is willing to give up the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, the imperial court is not afraid to send the Taishi to Shaanxi." ”

Wan Qianyong reminded dissatisfiedly: "We are now starting to rectify the official style, this move must be done in two or three years, if the Taishi now goes to Western Xia, and the successor will harm the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, then we will complain." ”

Zhao Xing thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I have to preside over the war with the Western Xia and the Liao people, although I am trying my best to train the musketeers, but the musketeers are not omnipotent, Liu Zhongwu and Gao Yongnian's defeat in Huaidong tells us that when we meet an idiot general, the musketeers can't beat the bamboo bar, in the face of the Western Xia, it is a difficult battle for supplies, the imperial court attacks Xia in five ways, Yongle Zhai Haoshuichuan has been defeated repeatedly, and others will definitely not work."

This battle must be presided over by you and me.

But now, we really can't do without the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, and we must let the Nanyang Yamen develop an atmosphere of abiding by the rules, so as to ensure that this Yamen will not degenerate...... By the way, we don't have a suitable successor yet. ”

In fact, what Zhao Xing really wanted to say in his heart was: he didn't dare to leave Hangzhou, left the ocean, and was trapped in the mainland, Zhao Xing was nothing, his supplies and ammunition all depended on the supply of others, as long as his lines of communication were blocked, anyone could create a war that was bound to lose, Zhao Xing understood that the Manchu dynasty didn't know how many people were expecting his defeat, some people were expecting his failure to make room for others, and some people simply wanted to see his jokes.

Zhao Xing didn't know that there was still an art emperor in the palace who wanted to make him pay the price, and he was thinking about him.

Shuai Fan looked at the west, and said leisurely: "I really want to go back to Shaanxi, I really want to go back to see those simple people again...... I wonder how the trees are planted there now? ”

Wan Qiyong replied casually: "It is Li Jie and Shan Ye who are presiding over this matter, these two are serious, but you can rest assured, I heard them talk about Mingwu, Shaanxi has been very fast in the wine industry in recent years, and the wine tax has increased tenfold compared to when we were in Huanqing, which shows that the fruit forest in Shaanxi has entered the maturity period, and once the fruit forest hangs fruit, it will be easy to maintain in the future." ”

Shuai Fan glanced at the frolicking child and said: "Of course, the original wine was only for drinking, and now the purified distilled liquor can also be used as fuel......

There is also medicine, now even the Shaanxi countryside also knows that high wine can be used to smear wounds, can be used to stop bleeding and disinfection, the demand for this wine is great, the benefits of the fruit forest will naturally go up, now they plant fruits, no longer care whether the fruit is sour and unpalatable, only need to plant a few trees on the slopes that can not grow food, without being cared for, can bring countless interest every year, so that natural people plant trees. ”

Wan Qiyong saw more far-reaching than Shuai Fan, he added: "The most important thing is the innovation of construction methods, the original houses are all made of wood, and the planks needed to build a house must be adult trees, these trees may not grow out in ten years, but after ten years, the houses built of wooden planks will definitely decay and break, and now they are built with stone, which is solid and stable, and immortal for a hundred years." This new construction method will inevitably save a lot of wood, which will reduce the demand for wood among the people.

The decline in the demand for timber has led to a growth period for trees, and there are more trees that survive than those that are cut down, and there are more and more natural forests. ”

Zhao Xing patted his thigh and sighed: "Although I am in Hangzhou, I often have nightmares and am awakened by nightmares, I dreamed that the weather is cold, the Yellow River is frozen, and the Hu people ride horses to spend on the ice, and the water flow of the Yellow River into the Central Plains is not much, which will inevitably lead to the freezing of the river

The square route is in vain, and the Hu people can reproduce the scene of Wuhu's chaotic logging,)|Wan Huma entered the Central Plains, born in such a chaotic era, a person's strength is really small, how can this situation be saved? Every time I wake up at night, I can't sleep!

Well, now, after listening to Yayan's words, I feel a little better. ”

Shuai Fan glanced at Zhao Xing meaningfully, he didn't say anything, Wan Qiyong said disapprerovingly: "When did the Yellow River not freeze, and now even Taihu Lake is frozen, let alone the Yellow River?" Huma did not cross the river in the past, and the alliance of Lanyuan has been a hundred years, and the Liao people still abide by the agreement, so there is no need to worry about this. ”

Shuai Fan kept sweeping the frolicking children, and when he saw that Zhao Feng had been sitting there, he seemed to be out of place with his brothers, he beckoned Zhao Feng and asked, "Feng Yanei, why don't you play with your brothers?" ”

Zhao Feng nodded sluggishly and replied, "I will be of marriage age next year, how can I play children's games with my brothers again...... I was listening to you talk about business just now, why do I get more and more discouraged the more I listen, I don't understand a word of what you say, how can I inherit the family business in the future? ”

What Zhao Feng said didn't understand was actually that he was modest, he could understand most of the content, but he couldn't understand the judgments and speculations made by these three people subsequently. And the reason why he doesn't understand it is not that he is not smart enough to decide on the judgment of information, he does not get enough information, and he does not know the "ins and outs" of things, so he naturally cannot deduce the "context".

Zhao Xing touched his head lovingly and persuaded him: "It's okay, you'll understand when you grow up." ”

Zhao Feng sighed and replied: "Facing my father, I always feel very helpless, it seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't reach my father's achievements My father knows how to fight, knows how to settle accounts, knows how to govern the place, knows how to run the family business, and also knows how to stand up and speak, and knows how to compose and write lyrics." But now I don't seem to be able to do the same as my father's achievement, according to my father's arrangement, it seems that in the future, the family business will be owned by Xiaotian, the recruits will be assigned to Xiaoyun, the flowers and leaves will be scattered outside Xiaohai, and the calculation and planning will be returned to Xiaotian, which does not mean that our five brothers together can only do what my father can do alone, which makes me feel depressed when I think about it.

My mother always hoped that I would be able to overcome my father and promote the family business, but no matter what I did, it always felt meaningless to think about what my father had done, and my father had already arranged everything for the future, and we just had to go with time. ”

Zhao Xing smiled and raised a finger and replied patiently: "In the past, you learned a family motto and want to win together!" I will tell you a family motto today: let professionals do professional work, you just need to know people well.

Fighting, when did I say that I can fight well, I am just good at deploying materials and naturalizing strategies, and I am not as handsome as your handsome uncle when it comes to wars; Settle accounts, you see, the people in the whole building are calculating the economy for us, so I and your handsome uncle, Uncle Wan can sit here and talk so leisurely. As for governing the place, you don't need to do it yourself, you just need to grasp the principle of things, know the direction of things, and do a good job of naturalization and guidance.

You're going to have an enthronement ceremony next year, and in the future, when you're by your father's side, you'll have to keep your eyes open and think about why your father did what he did, and if you don't understand, ask and figure out the principle, and then learn to identify professionals and leave professional things to professionals, which is enough. ”

Shuai Fan interjected meaningfully: "The more your father, this is impossible, your father has a lot more knowledge than you, this knowledge is enough for you to study for a hundred years, and you don't need to want to Yue, you can follow our naturalized path, step by step, it is already perfect." ”

Zhao Feng looked at the brothers who were only playful, and felt that no one was paying attention to the boring conversation here, so he whispered slowly and in an undetectable voice: "Is it like the one in the palace?" ”

Although the voice was small, the three people in front of the window heard it clearly, and their faces changed together, and they all moved their eyes to the window, and said something that they didn't know what to say: "The weather is really good today...... Haha, it must be fun to work in such weather! ”

In fact, the November of the lunar calendar is the coldest time of the year, commonly known as "counting nine cold days", which is such a day.

Wan Qiyong's words also showed how absent-minded he was, and his next sentence completely overturned the conclusion of "happy attendance" just now: "In this weather, the poor family does not have enough charcoal salary, and they must be suffering." Isn't it time to give them some charcoal salary to calculate the day, and to get the shopping coupons before the New Year, it is time to start in the next few days. ”

After speaking, Wan Qiyong pretended to think of something, and said as he walked outside: "Well, it's time, I'll go and arrange people immediately." ”

Shuai Fan replied thoughtfully: "That's right, now the weather is cold, although most of the people in Hangzhou have been replaced with stone houses, but some old houses are still wooden houses, such houses should pay attention to fire prevention...... I'll go to the barracks and don't let the soldiers freeze. ”

After they all left, Zhao Feng asked Zhao Xing gently: "Father-in-law, I shouldn't have said anything just now, right?" ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "As a courtier, there are some things that can be done and cannot be said." ”

Zhao Feng wanted to say a few words of apology, Yuan Yeping knocked on the door and came in, and reported with a nervous expression: "My lord, the Daimyo Mansion Liangzhong sent a letter, saying that the birthday gang that sent you was lucky, but he lost the news when he entered Jingdong East Road, he was estimated to have been robbed near Liangshanbo, at present, the escort officer is missing, and he is still trying his best to find it, please ask the Taishi to help." ”

In the Song Dynasty, "Gang" was the name of a transport unit, and the Birthday Gang was, in modern parlance, "a carload of gifts to celebrate a birthday". Zhao Xing said that he had his birthday in August, and he was also registered in this way on the way to enter the division, and in order to naturalize him, the Cheng clan also fabricated a pedigree for him for three generations, and Zhao Xing's official gentry was also registered according to the Cheng clan's fabrication.

Different from normal history, Liang Zimei in Liang Zhong was originally a birthday gift to celebrate the birthday of his father-in-law Cai Jing, but after the fall of Cai Jing, Liang Zimei was proud to consign because of his friendship with Zhao Xing, and sat firmly in the position left behind by his daimyo's mansion, so he specially befriended Zhao Xing and prepared a birthday gift, which was called "Birthday Gang" in the Song Dynasty.

According to Zhao Xingguan's account, he will turn 40 next year. Liang Zimei used the reason to celebrate Zhao Xing's 40th birthday and gave a birthday gift a year in advance, thinking that this gift would arrive from the 6th Road, and it would take at least two or three months to walk on the road, so it was better to be in advance. I didn't expect an accident.

"Liang Shanbo, could it be that Song Jiang appeared?" Zhao Xing stood up in surprise and muttered to himself.
