The Queen asked again:

"You said that it has been determined that the person who stirs up trouble in the exchange is also related to the Zhang family, right?"

"Yes." The sword replied.

"The people of the Zhang family in the city are indeed very active during this period of time, not only the exchange, they have even contacted a group of suppliers, and they have joined forces to hoard Juqi and try to manipulate the transaction price.

The sword's words made a sneer condense at the corner of the queen's mouth:

"Humph! Before I arrived in Mengzhou, my family made such a bunch of bad things for me, to cover my eyes, hoard, and try to manipulate market prices, wouldn't the city department directly punish them, and work until the Minister of Finance? ”

Squire replied:

"But, Your Majesty, how dare the City Division, the Zhang family still has a prefect of Mengzhou City, and there are many things involved, and the Zhang family is only one of them, and only forcibly punishing the Zhang family can't actually solve the problem."

The queen was silent when she heard this, and she didn't say anything more, she also knew that the sword was right, forcibly punishing the Zhang family would not actually solve the problem, but would give people a handle and affect the prestige of the court.

After all, even if it is hoarding, strictly speaking, it does not violate any laws of the imperial court, that is to say, these people have not violated any rules, they just follow the original law of the law of the jungle in the market. Under the primitive rough market rules of this era.

Therefore, if the imperial court wants to pursue these people first, it will be tantamount to breaking the rules by itself first, which will inevitably cause backlash from many sides, which is not a good idea.

Which of these merchants is not connected with the interests of the nobles of the family, and if the court breaks these, it will violate the unspoken rules between the court and these nobles. Everything in this country is built on this rule of mutual checks and balances between kings and nobles, and it is not easy for even the queen to lift the table.

Therefore, the conclusion is that this kind of thing is not suitable for the imperial court to force it forward, and the problems in the market must be solved by market means after all.

As soon as this Zhang Jiayu arrived in Tianzhu, he threw her a solid lesson.

This lesson was enough for the queen and her ministers to be busy for a while.

It's hard for Tianzhu to directly blame others for such a thing, after all, in this whole matter, Zhang Jiayu just used the contradictions within Tianzhu to take advantage of his strength. This can only be that this old guy knows Tianzhu well enough, and this hand is indeed knocked on Tianzhu's soft underbelly.

Tianzhu was already unable to support the front line in this battle, and this time it was even worse.

The queen was angry in her heart, but she had to admit that the envoy of this court was indeed clever to some extent, and the old fox's means were needless to say that it was to speed up the peace talks, and the ultimate goal was to make a time difference, that is, to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and force Tianzhu in this situation to sign a contract that was unfavorable to him as soon as possible.

is worthy of being a genius praised by Tianzhu back then, coupled with the fact that he has been a major minister in such a behemoth-like imperial court as the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, whether it is political experience or wisdom, it has reached the limit, such an old fox is not easy to deal with.

After all, Tianzhu is a small country, and it is difficult to compete with the Great Song Dynasty in many aspects, which can be seen from this talent reserve alone.

If such a character can be owned by Tianzhu, how much can Tianzhu's development benefit.

The love in the queen's heart has a little flare-up.

…………………………………………

Thousands of miles away, the defense line of Li Zhe's army has been established, protruding to the front line for a hundred and ten miles, and the front line pressed by the Great Song army is separated by an area of less than twenty or thirty miles in the middle.

Although the rear was already in an emergency, Li Zhe did not have the slightest intention of shrinking and retreating in front of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but instead fought-for-tat!

Wang Bo, the commander of the Song Army in front, saw Li Zhejun's dynamics, hurriedly stopped the forward momentum, and took the initiative to shrink back.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the news from Tianzhu? He was a little confused, according to the news from Tianzhu, shouldn't the Tianzhu army on the opposite side be prepared to shrink and minimize the field battle with his own army?

He knew all too well how great the impact of a major battle with hundreds of thousands of soldiers between the two sides would be, not to mention that the battlefield was so far away from the homeland.

It is extremely difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to maintain such a war.

He Wang Bo only has these hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him, and it is by no means that the Great Song Dynasty only has so many soldiers, but the limit of this battlefield spanning thousands of kilometers is only this number. No matter how much it is, even Da Song can't support it, let alone Tianzhu.

In fact, the fact that a small feudal state in Tianzhu District has been able to support it so far has impressed the bigwigs in Jinling.

This is also the reason why no one in Jinling could have imagined that this war could be fought to this extent beforehand, and now no one doubts the national strength of Tianzhu, a remote feudal state in the past.

It must be admitted that this is the first country around the Great Song Dynasty that has the power to challenge the Great Song Dynasty in hundreds of years, except for Meng Yuan. This is not just because of the military superiority of steamships and rifled guns, but also because of all aspects of a country.

Regardless of the outcome of this war, Tianzhu alone was able to organize a division across the sea to destroy the country and really wipe out the Ning Wang Domain.

Therefore, Wang Bo is actually extremely cautious when facing his opponent.

In the current situation, the Tianzhu Army still doesn't want to retreat, shrink back to Dinghai to defend the city, what else do you want to do? The army is conquered outside, and the grain routes in the rear are cut off, aren't they afraid that the army will collapse if it goes on like this? This is not uncommon in the history of warfare in the past.

Could it be that the trapped beast is still fighting? Or something else?

Wang Bo couldn't figure out Li Zhe's thoughts, but in this case, he would never take the initiative to fight the Tianzhu army, when the beasts were the most ferocious, of course, when they were the most hungry.

At this time in Dinghai, Li Zhe controlled the armies in front of him, but he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and the officers in charge of logistics in the Governor's Mansion were all gray, but most of their governors still looked confident.

Wang Ming, who was a military counselor for a short time, couldn't help but ask Li Zhedao:

"Governor! But is there a good law? ”

Li Zhe replied:

"Where, I don't have it, but this kind of thing still has to fall on Wang Qing."
