"My lord, General Zhang and the others have already set off for Guangzhou in accordance with your wishes."

On the deck outside the cabin, Qiu Sheng whispered to Jia Rudao.

"Well, all the money was handed over to them?"

"The silver has been given, and the last general has already told General Zhang that if the prefectures and counties along the way cannot provide supplies of grain and grass, they will all solve it on the spot and buy it themselves."

Jia Rudao nodded and did not speak.

"My lord, the matter of Fujian is ...... Such...... That's ......"

"That's it? Hehe, what else could it be? I can't behead that Wu Liang directly for public display, right? ”

Jia Yidao said with a smile.

"Actually, it's okay, I've been thinking about it carefully on the ship these days, and now it seems that I was too ideal, everything in Guangdong is undecided, and there are many constraints in the court, if I don't go to Qingyuan Mansion in person, I think the city of Qingyuan Mansion Yamen will also be a commodity that my grandmother doesn't love my uncle. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the ultimate purpose of the city port division is, and there has been no movement before, and I just want to see my jokes. ”

"Watching adult jokes?"

"As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is tantamount to digging people's ancestral graves, and the city's shipping department will extend its tentacles to Caoyun and foreign transactions, and it is not in the eyes of many people, but I am looking for the saint to get the right to monopolize salt and iron, how many people's financial routes have been cut off? Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the three envoys have been monopolizing the right to salt and iron and water transportation, and it has been a customary rule for hundreds of years. ”

"But the right to monopolize salt and iron was given to you by the emperor. The three divisions should come down by themselves, if they are not willing to make the three divisions, they can not inherit it at all? Anyway, over the years, it has not been once or twice that the three envoys have disobeyed the emperor's order. ”

Qiu Shang's words made Jia Yidao a little surprised.

But it's right to think about it, since Qiu Sheng is the direct forbidden army of the inner temple, and on weekdays, people from the inner temple are stationed inside and outside the imperial city, and I think that I may know many things earlier than outside.

"Now that the war is uncertain, the three envoys have controlled the power of my Great Song Dynasty for many years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, military and civil affairs, and silver is needed everywhere. What's more, I promised the emperor how much silver I would hand over to the court every year, and they could solve the big trouble with just one attitude, not to mention, the city boss snatched the plate of the three envoys, and naturally there were those who relied on the three envoys to get rich, and the three envoys just needed to give an official promise, so why not? ”

Maybe it's because I've been on the ship for too long and thinking too much about it these days, and Jia Rudao obviously has a lot of words.

Such things and such words are obviously more meaningful to Ding Daquan or Hong Wenhao, but there are many things, maybe Qiu Sheng and these martial artists can't understand the deep meaning, but fortunately, what Jia Yidao needs is just an audience.

Many things, at the beginning, he looked at the people at this time with the eyes of later generations, or he naturally used a condescending vision to examine and even contempt the officials and officials inside and outside the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally he was far more sophisticated than those people in any aspect, but he never thought that he was the little monkey who didn't know the height of the sky in the eyes of everyone.

Perhaps in the eyes of the officials of the three envoys, no matter how much he tosses, it is impossible for him to jump out of the palm of the three envoys in the end.

It may be that he has never heard Jia Yidao talk about these things, Qiu Sheng didn't react at all for a while, and was a little stunned.

"You go and tell General Hong, speed up, and rush to Guangzhou with all your might."

Fortunately, Jia Rudao didn't want to get any response from Qiu Shang, interrupted Qiu Sheng's entanglement, and said with a smile.

"The last will obey."

Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Qiu Sheng suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and hurriedly bowed down to answer, turning around and escaping as he spoke, as if he had to get off the boat.

Many people, including Qiu Shang, actually didn't notice that Liu Ru didn't know when she quietly disappeared on the boat.

"Wu Liang, Wu Liang! Hehe, Wu Liang. ”

Jia Yidao patted the guardrail in front of him and said with a smile.

……

The Great Song Dynasty stumbled, and finally survived the second year of Jiaxi and entered the third year of Jiaxi.

At the time of the New Year's holiday, basically all the functions of the six ministries of the three provinces and the opposition have also entered the mode of vacation, and all kinds of complicated personnel, finance, and political affairs are basically over before the 30th day.

From the beginning of the thirtieth day to the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin'an City is truly a lively and prosperous celebration.

Up to the three princes and nine kings down to the peddlers and pawns, whether they want to or not, they will also relax themselves in this half a month, walk around, visit relatives and friends, visit teachers, greet elders, this season ordinary people in cloth are no different from the emperor's relatives and relatives to the pen officials.

It's just that this year's festival is destined to be different from previous years.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, all walks of life in Lin'an City have begun to arrange the annual Lantern Festival. Dealers and pawns from all over the world, troupes and entertainers who walk the streets and alleys have begun to gather towards Lin'an City as early as the seventh or eighth day of the New Year's Festival.

The people and merchants in Lin'an City have also begun to hang festive lanterns of different shapes in front of their respective doors, praying for good luck in the coming year.

The entire city of Lin'an is filled with the joy and satisfaction of the New Year.

Ordinary people are always the most forgetful and the most satisfied, and it seems that the ****** that happened last year and even the fires on the frontier have also gone away.

The people are so lively, and even more so in the imperial city.

Prince Zhao Wei's canonization ceremony has just passed more than a month, Meng Hui has achieved an unprecedented victory in Caizhou, Zhang Rou, who is not the right hand of the mouth and does not spend money, is also in Caizhou, and even more mouth Wen does not spend a letter to Zhao Yun to ask for Zhang Rou's head and body, although Zhao Kui's Huainan East Road has been in flames since the beginning of the month, but there is the Huaihe River moat, and Zhao Kui is in charge, which does not make the government and the opposition too worried.

For Zhao Yun, the first half of Jiaxi's second year was more difficult for him, and with the successful birth of the crown prince Zhao Wei, it seems that even the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty have begun to change. Therefore, for the first Lantern Festival since Zhao Wei was born, Zhao Yun, who has regarded Zhao Wei as his lucky star, attaches great importance to it.

Therefore, as early as the seventh or eighth year of the first month, the entire imperial city began to be busy inside and outside, and countless eunuchs and palace maids began to be arranged under the leadership of Dong Songchen and Lu Yunsheng.

Zhao Yun, who has always maintained a thrifty habit because of the difficult situation in the court, rarely has a handful of extravagance, not enough money, and even rarely asks Xie Jubo, the secretary of the household department, for a sum of silver. And Xie Jubo was also rare without saying a word, and he proposed the full or even excessive amount of silver from the treasury of the household department to Zhao Yun, which made Zhao Yun even more happy.

It's just that Zhao Yun's dragon face obviously won't be happy for too long.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, the entire Lin'an City was still in the festive atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, but the Great Song Dynasty was anxious because of an urgent report from Zhao Rongrui, the envoy of the Sichuan system.

In the Duanming Palace, Li Zongmian, Shi Songzhi, Li Mingfu and the six Shangshu were all gathered, and everyone's faces were a little heavy.

"Let's talk about how to deal with this matter."

Zhao Yun, who was wearing a casual robe on the dragon chair, rubbed his head and said weakly.

The cause of the incident is not complicated, and the urgent report sent by Zhao Rongrui from Sichuan is an urgent request for military help.

Mongolian four mastiffs, one of the top ten heroes of the subutai suddenly commanded 200,000 troops appeared at the junction of Lizhou Road and Guanzhong, since the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Subutai 200,000 troops divided into three roads, through the meridian valley, Luogu, the slope valley out of the pass over the Qinling moat, in just more than ten days even under the Lizhou Road size more than 30 cities, swept most of the Lizhou Road, Bingfeng pointed directly to the capital of Lizhou Road Xingyuan Mansion (later Hanzhong).

Once Lizhou falls, then the neighboring Lizhou (later Luoyang, Shaanxi) will become an isolated city, Hanshui will become a smooth road, and there will be many choices for the army of Subutai.

Under. It can directly go down the Han River to capture Junzhou (later Danjiangkou, Hubei), and then directly threaten Xiangyang, the current frontier town of the Great Song Dynasty; on it, you can directly take the upper reaches of the Jialing River; In the past, he drove all the way down the Jialing River and attacked Lizhou (later Sichuan Guangyuan), Bazhou Bazhou (later Sichuan Bazhong), and Dazhou (later Sichuan Dazhou).

It can be said that Xingyuan Mansion moves the whole body.

Even when the Great Song Dynasty was the most dangerous for Mongolia, it never let Xingyuan Mansion fall once, it is precisely because once the important place of Xingyuan Mansion falls, then the Great Song Dynasty will not only face the Mongols on the border of Sichuan will completely fall into an absolute disadvantage, not to mention the entire southwest situation will collapse, but more importantly, only Xingyuan Mansion has enough excellent wharves and ships to be used by the unfamiliar Mongolian army.

Once Subutai captures Xingyuan Mansion, it will no longer be the battle situation in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and even Meng Hui's Jinghu Mansion will face threats from behind at any time.

Because, no one knows, when the Mongols will go straight down the Han River to Xiangyang.

The collapse of the war in the southwest of Sichuan made the Great Song Dynasty a little anxious at most, but once Xiangyang was lost, it would be equivalent to the Mongols being born with a sharp sword on the throat of the Great Song Dynasty, from Xiangyang City to Lin'an City, the terrain was flat, and there would be no more obstacles to the Mongols, and the elite cavalry of the Mongols could choose to sweep the entire Jiangnan land conveniently at any time when they were in a good mood or bad.

The land of Jiangnan is the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and there is something going on in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Southern Song Dynasty court is not far from the country.

What's more, the bald snow on the north bank of Huainan East Road has also changed from the previous appearance of the mud, just like eating spring and medicine, and now it is also catching Zhao Kui's Huainan East Road and biting it.

The east and west ends of the Great Song Dynasty seem to have been agreed with a long time ago, and they go hand in hand to attack the Great Song Dynasty at the same time.

And the Jinghu Mansion in the central part of the country, although it has inexplicably achieved an unprecedented victory, but I don't know why, this seemingly unrelated thing makes Zhao Yun always feel that there is a taste of conspiracy in it.
