Zhao Yun's edict once again stirred up endless undercurrents in Lin'an City.

Although Meng Heng's promotion to the rank of Auxiliary General (Zheng Erpin) is very exceptional, it is still within an acceptable range. After all, the current military generals of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Meng Heng, who can cause some damage and trouble to the mighty Mongols on the local battlefield, the commanders of other theaters can ensure that they do not lose too many cities under the Mongol offensive, not to mention the **** to recapture the cities occupied by the Mongols, of course, the cities that the Mongols took the initiative to discard after looting and were picked up by them do not need to be counted among them.

The Mongol attack on the Great Song Dynasty, at least for the time being, was maintained at an appropriate pressure, and then the rich and flowing Great Song Dynasty was used to feed the Mongols at the strategic level of the attrition caused by years of conquest and stretching the front for tens of thousands of miles.

Many people in the government and the opposition know these things.

Therefore, in the Lianghuai Theater and the Jinghu Theater, especially the Sichuan Theater that suffered the most Mongol attacks, most of the local garrison generals resisted for the sake of their lives without resistance, and ran away with their soldiers and a family of gold and silver, and threw the people of the city and the city without soldiers to the Mongols.

Anyway, the Mongols will withdraw after they finish robbing, and they will come back when the time comes. This was the truest thought in the hearts of a considerable number of generals in several major theaters, especially those of the Song army who were close to the Mongol defense line. Not only can you save your life, but you can also use the city you picked up to ask the court for merit after the Mongols retreated, why not?

Such a thing was actually an open secret in the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that the performance of Meng Hui and his Jinghu Theater in this battle of Xiangyang is even more precious.

However, Jia Nidao, who is holding several important positions, was sent by the emperor to Xiangyang City to sacrifice the army at such a time, and the taste revealed in this is really a little incomprehensible.

What kind of place is Xiangyang City? That is the most dangerous place in the Great Song Dynasty now, hundreds of thousands of troops who do not spend money are eyeing each other, at this time send Jia Rudao to the army, the chance of an accident is not just in case but 10,000 possibilities. As the emperor's favorite minister, it seems that he should not be allowed to go to such a dangerous place, right? It doesn't make sense, does it?

Another thing that puzzled the ministers was that the edict did not make any arrangements for the ownership of the real power positions such as the prefect of Lin'an Mansion and the helmsman of the Municipal General Department that everyone was most concerned about after Jia Nidao left.

The prefect of Lin'an Mansion is good to say, most of the people who are qualified to sit in this position, in fact, are the prefect of Lin'an Mansion in front of the gilded, no one will really think that he can be as prosperous as Jia Nidao in the position of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, for many people, Jia Nidao can still do as steady as Mount Tai in the position of the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture in the case of the great famine in Lin'an, it can only be said that it is the same as his promotion, it is an outlier.

What really moved some people in the DPRK and China was the newly established General Department of the City and Maritime Offices, especially the boiling and boiling bank yamen that had not yet been opened but had already spread in Lin'an City.

The Yamen of the Bank of the General Division of the City has not officially appeared in the Yamen sequence of the General Department of the City, but since the banquet of the Emperor of Longshou Mountain, the news of the Bank of the General Division of the City has begun to spread throughout the government and the opposition in Lin'an City.

Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo, Wen Shannan and others deposited a total of 4 million stones worth 20 million taels of silver grain into the Shibo General Division, which was enough for people to be jealous, coupled with the high-profile announcement of Zhao Shimi, the king of Heixiu, that one-third of the books of the property under the palace would also be symbolically deposited in the Shibo General Bank, which added a big fire to the Shibo General Division Bank, which had not yet officially appeared in the eyes of the people.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten Lin'an wine merchants and pharmacists led by Zheng Mingxuan also revealed on various public or semi-public occasions that they wanted to deposit all the flowing water and silver in the shops into the Bank of the General Division of the City, and revealed that the Bank of the General Division of the City would open branches in various cities in the Great Song Dynasty at the right time, and the bills issued by the Bank of the General Department of the City could be withdrawn and exchanged in various cities, which caused a great wave in the city of Lin'an.

Even a fool understands that if it is really as Zheng Mingxuan and others said, then the ambitions of the Bank of the City Shipping General Division are not only those that are shown now.

Everyone seems to have seen a behemoth that surpasses the household department rising.

How can such a city director not make people blush? Even if the Bank of the General Division of the City Ship does not open branches in various cities as Zheng Mingxuan said, just the annual commercial tax of the General Department of the City and the 20 million taels of grain are enough to make everyone blush, right?

Jia seems to be gone, but the things in his hands and the position he occupies have not yet been settled. For a while, the ministers in Lin'an City were like sharks that smelled blood, swarming around.

Compared with the undercurrent of Lin'an City, Jia Mansion is much quieter.

In the hall of Jiafu, Jia Rudao sat in the main seat, and on the guest seat under him was the blue-faced middle-aged man who only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, who was Ding Daquan who was promoted to the head of Dali Temple?

Now Jia Rudao is no longer the Lin'an Mansion who dared to come to the door with a small county magistrate like Ding Daquan, but a high-ranking official with the rank of Golden Purple Guanglu. Many people in the DPRK and China actually understand in their hearts that if it weren't for the fact that Jia Yidao's promotion momentum in the past six months was too strong, and his qualifications were too shallow, then with his credit for perfectly solving the great famine in Lin'an City, I am afraid that a chief of the sixth ministry would not be able to run.

As for Ding Daquan, it is still a small Zhengliupin Dali Temple, and the gap between the two sides is already the difference between heaven and earth. Not to mention Ding Daquan's age, but he is more than ten years older than Jia Yidao, and whoever has a brighter future seems to be able to see it as long as he is not blind.

With Ding Daquan's status now, it is naturally not too easy to see Jia Nidao, and it cannot be said that there is a lot of traffic in front of Jia's mansion, at least his small six-grade Dali Temple is not weighty enough for Jia Nidao to condescend to see, and the reason why he can appear in Jiafu today is that Jia Nidao called him.

After chatting casually, Jia Rudao looked at Ding Daquan and said with a smile: "This official is about to go to Xiangyang to sacrifice the army on behalf of the saint, and there are too many things in the Yamen of Lin'an Mansion and the General Department of the City, so the official wants Brother Zi Wan to come over to help the official, I don't know what Brother Zi Wan wants?" ”

Ding Daquan, who was already apprehensive in his heart, heard Jia Rudao's sudden words, and the look on his face instantly became extremely exciting. First stunned, then incredulous, then excited, blue and reddened, and finally a little hesitant and hesitant.
