Li Qingzhao heard her husband sigh, so he said, "Actually, I admire Liang Shanjun." ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked at his wife and was a little puzzled: "Appreciation? ”

"I think Liang Shanjun is very good like this, he doesn't steal or rob, and he makes so much money. not only fed so many troops, but also benefited the people of the two states.

In the past two days, I went to the surrounding countryside to take a look, and Liang Shanjun was really doing things for the people of the two states.

Water conservancy projects were built, bridges and roads were built, loans were made to villagers to build biogas digesters, water trucks were installed, and seeds for new crops were given to them. That's not all, Liang Shanjun actually built water canals and water diversion aqueducts for these people for free.

I asked Lu Junshi, and he said that this would increase grain production in the two states, and the landlords and tenants would be satisfied.

In addition, this can enable more farmers to have something to do and an extra income during their leisure time, so they do it.

It is said that Liang Shanjun is buying people's hearts like this, but after all, they are doing real good things;

It is not like the imperial court, the party in the court is endless, and under the court is Wen Tian and Wu Huan, and Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Zhu Mian and other traitors don't even want face.

So Cai Jing is now in charge of the government, under the guise of supporting the new law, what can he do?

Fangtian method, salt tea method, expanding the field, and Huashigang, this is clearly forcible and robbed.

If you want me to say, this is really a money grab, Liang Shanjun's money bank can freely exchange gold, silver and copper coins for gold bars and silver ingots, and you can buy all kinds of good things in Liangshan, such as this beer. ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled bitterly, saying that both of them were victims of the imperial court's party strife and persecution.

It turned out that since the time of Wang Anshi's reform, there have been so-called "new parties" in the imperial court that support the reform and so-called "old parties" that oppose the reform.

Then the two sides are like flipping cakes, and when the new party is in power, it tramples the old party under its feet and spares no effort to persecute its opponents, and the same is true of the old party when it is in power.

Zhao Mingcheng's father, Zhao Tingzhi, is the new party that supports the reform of the law, also known as the Yuanfeng party, who once worshiped the imperial history Zhongcheng, and later served as the prime minister, and severely cracked down on the old party Yuanyou party.

And Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, a member of the Rites Department, was included in the Yuanyou Party because he was a protégé of Xiao Su Suzhe (the original time and space was Su Shi's protégé).

It also implicated Li Qingzhao's head, so that he was forced to leave Bianjing and live separately from Zhao Mingcheng, who had only been married for three years.

However, fortunately, soon after, the world granted amnesty and lifted the ban on all party members, and Li Qingzhao was able to return to Bianjing to reunite with Zhao Mingcheng.

But not long after, Cai Jing reinstated, because Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing fought for power, and three days after Zhao Tingzhi's death, Zhao Mingcheng was framed by Cai Jing and arrested and imprisoned.

Although he was finally released because there was no evidence, Zhao Mingcheng also lost his official position and was forced to move out of Bianjing and go to Qingzhou to live in seclusion, which was 11 years.

Seeing that his husband didn't speak, Li Qingzhao continued: "Defu, I think that Lin Chong and Lu Jiang are trying to pull the two of us to do things together. Although Na Lu Jiang didn't say it directly, his words couldn't be clearer.

He said to me, 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', and he also said, 'The Jurchens invaded the south sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty was faint and treacherous, the party struggles continued, and the armaments were slack, but only the Liangshan army was doing things with sincerity, training troops and preparing for war'. ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked at his wife and knew that although she was a weak woman on the outside, she also wrote a lot of soft and euphemistic words such as "Mo Dao does not lose his soul, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers", "There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I frowned, but I was in my heart", but in her bones, she was a hundred times stronger than ordinary men, and she was arrogant.

Obviously, Liang Shanjun's attitude of doing practical things, training troops and preparing for war on the one hand, and benefiting the people on the other hand won her favor, but ......

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Mingcheng slowly spit out six words: "Qingzhao, Song Zuo is not declining." ”

Li Qingzhao suddenly understood, sighed and said: "In this case, it is useless for the two of us to stay here longer, why don't we return early?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Don't you wait for the next Su Dongpo poem?" ”

It turned out that the two of them lived in Shuibo Nancheng, and Lin Chong never appeared again, saying that he had something to do, but he sent a poem "Fortune Operator, Missing Moon Hanging Shutong" two days later, saying that he suddenly remembered a song, and asked the two of them to stay for two more days, maybe he could think of a song again.

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "No need, then Lin Chong invented cement, invented the four-wheeled carriage, and invented the new loom, and he has to train the army every day, so he must be really busy every day."

Since he is busy, how can he have time to think about Dongpo's words, this word must have been remembered by him a long time ago, but it was just done on purpose. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded: "What the lady said is very true, today we will go to General Lu to bid farewell and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

When Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng found General Lu to explain their intentions, on Liangshan Island, Lin Chong and others gathered on the northernmost Yazui Beach, smiling one by one.

There is no other reason, the second time they went to sea was Li Jun, Hu Cheng, Ruan Xiaowu, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng and others finally came back with the fleet.

This time, because the Liangshan Army had captured ten warships of the Dengzhou Navy Division and purchased eight 3,000 large sea ships on the southeast coast, the number of Liangshan Army's naval vessels reached 34 at once, and the deadweight reached 70,000 materials.

Therefore, this time Li Jun and Hu Yanqing led the team to go to sea, and the goods brought back were nearly four times that of the last time, and the war horses and Liao Guo brought back were also several times that of the Jurchens last time.

Especially wool.

Although the climate at this time was much colder than that of later generations, the Song Dynasty really didn't like wool products, because the smell of wool was too heavy, where was the silk comfortable to wear?

There was no market for wool textiles in the Song people, and the Liao State couldn't digest so much, so they hoarded a large amount of wool in the warehouse.

I heard that the Liangshan army bought a large amount of wool, but these Liao people were very happy, thinking that they had met a fool, and they all rushed to sell the wool they had accumulated.

But for more than a hundred years, there are too many wools in Liao, where can the Liangshan army collect it? There are so many goods, can't you have them all?

So naturally you have to pick up the best to buy, and if the price is high, you don't want it, and naturally there are other people who are willing to sell.

In the end, it was like half selling and half giving away, and I bought ten ships full of more than 20,000 of the best wool at a very high price.

And Liangshanbo here wool degreasing, wool spinning technology has been developed, wool spinning machinery is also in research and development, when the time comes to process wool, sheep coat is afraid of not selling at a high price?

However, Lin Chong was even happier with two things outside of trade, one of which was that he finally got in touch with the Jurchens and talked to him, and the other party agreed to cooperate with Liang Shanjun in all aspects.

The second is that Li Jun and Hu Cheng's trip to the Liao Kingdom also brought Lin Chong an unexpected joy, a Jurchen "traitor", a famous Liao-breaking ghost A Shu in history.
