The last one to come in was the general who had never spoken. As soon as the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info entered the door, he knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The last general, Shi Lance, meet Your Highness."

The performance of the stone lance is the most normal etiquette, but it surprised Zhao Shuo. After all, this is not a peaceful time, but an eventful time.

In such an environment, a general who holds military power can give him the illegitimate son of a former emperor who is not a fart and has no real power, so to speak, it is enough to give him face.

Of course, on the other hand, it can also be seen that Shi Lance was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shuo hurriedly got up from the bed, walked in front of the stone lance in a few steps, stretched out his hands, and helped him up.

"General Shi, please get up quickly."

"General? His Highness laughed, the last general was just a deputy commander. Shi Yan was helped up by Zhao Shuo, his head was very low, and his voice was very small, but his face showed some doubts.

Looking at Shi Shu's reaction, Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then with the memory of the prince Zhao Shuo in his mind, he finally understood the reason for Shi Shu's reaction.

The title of general is not suitable for the generals of all dynasties.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong, there were fifty-three ranks of military ministers, and the official ranks of military ministers in the center were called by what kind of doctor or what kind of Lang. Like Yue Fei, in 1129, because of his outstanding merits, he was promoted to Wude Doctor.

The deputy commander mentioned by Shi Lance has always been, but it is different, it belongs to the local official position of the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the command of the local garrison was composed of three levels: the governor of the capital, the deputy governor, the governor of the capital, the deputy governor of the prefecture, the governor of the prefecture, and the deputy governor of the prefecture. As for the border areas, they will be inspected and inspected. After the southern crossing, most of the temporary measures were adopted, and the generals of each army were given the titles of the same commander, the deputy commander, the commander, the same commander, and the deputy commander, and the names of the main general, deputy general, and preparing general.

After figuring out this, Zhao Shuo smiled and covered up his embarrassment with laughter. "Deputy Commander Shi, as a general who commands an army, is not far behind the ancient generals. I call Deputy Commander Shi a general, because I hope that Deputy Commander Shi can be like an ancient general, overcome obstacles, and return me to a peaceful and prosperous era in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After listening to Zhao Shuo's words, Shi Yan's body trembled a few times, and he choked up and said.

"The last general was stupid and failed to understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. He will go to the battlefield every day, and he will fight the gold thief to the death and recover the rivers and mountains. ”

Shi Yan's reaction was a bit big, but Zhao Shuo didn't think he was pretentious, because for him, an illegitimate prince, a deputy commander of the army didn't need to be like this.

As long as Shi Yan wants, Zhao Shuo and Ben can't keep anything. Even if it is to take Zhao Shuo's life, when the emperor's uncle Zhao Gou comes back, he can shirk it to bandits, bandits, thieves or something, no one will care about this. Because, in the years of war, for the emperor, a general who commanded the army was far more useful than a useless nephew.

Therefore, Shi Lance's reaction is real, and having such a reaction can only show that his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty is deep in the bone marrow. For such people, Zhao Shuo is appreciative, and for those who appreciate, Zhao Shuo has only one thought, that is, to collect the use.

"Deputy Commander Shi, the matter of killing thieves to serve the country will be indispensable to you in the future." After saying this, Zhao Shuo paused, and then pulled the matter back to the present. "Oh, look at my brain."

Zhao Shuo patted his forehead lightly. "I forgot to ask, what is the purpose of Deputy Commander Shi's visit today?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo's question, Shi Yan's head that had been raised lowered again.

"Deputy Commander Shi, you don't have to be like this, you have nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

Shi Lance clenched his fists and exhaled a few heavily, as if he had made up his mind. "Your Highness, there will be something to ask for in the end, and I hope Your Highness will grant permission."

"As long as it's for the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what you say, I will promise you." Zhao Shuo knew very well what Shi Lance wanted in his heart, so he took this opportunity to improve his image in disguise. "Even if it's a life, I can let you take it."

Looking at the thin and righteous Zhao Shuo, Shi Lance fell to his knees again. "Your Highness's righteousness, the last general admires. How dare the last general ask for His Royal Highness's life, it's just that this matter, the last general is really a little difficult to say, but not to mention, those soldiers who follow the last general may not have a chance to live, the last general, the last general......"

"It's about briquettes." Zhao Shuo asked knowingly. "If it's a matter of this, it's not non-negotiable."

"Your Highness is willing to hand over the briquettes to the future for production?" Shi Lance raised his head and looked at Zhao Shuo.

"Deputy Commander Shi, you get up first and tell me what's going on." Zhao Shuo said.

Then, Zhao Shuo pulled the shabby chair to the side of the bed, and he sat on the edge of the bed, motioning for Shi Shu to sit on the chair.

After the stone lance sat down, he sighed before speaking. "Your Highness, you also know that now the smoke is everywhere, and the world is restless. In addition to the gold thieves in the north, riots are also intensifying everywhere. His Majesty took refuge at sea, the country was in shambles, and the army could only support itself on its own, and the current Lin'an City, after the plundering of the Jin army, wanted nothing and nothing. The people are miserable, and the last general can't bear to collect taxes, but if they don't collect taxes, the soldiers under the last general can only starve. Such a soldier, if the Jin army attacks again, he will be vulnerable to this. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Lance paused and looked at Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, and motioned for Shi Shu to continue.

"Your Highness, last time you sent someone to find me, and then sent a batch of briquettes, the last general has always been grateful. There was not a single one of the briquette armies in that batch, they were all sold in exchange for some dry food. However, now that prices are soaring, the food we can buy is limited, and one person will have one meal a day, and I am afraid that if it is less than three days, there will be no food. The last general was worried that this might lead to a mutiny, so he came to seek His Highness's help. ”

"If that's the case, it's nothing if the briquettes are handed over to Deputy Commander Shi to manage. But! Now that something has happened, I'm worried that I'll get in trouble for Deputy Commander Shi. Zhao Shuo's face was embarrassed.

"What does Your Highness mean by this?" Shi Lance was a little anxious, this briquette was related to the survival of all the officers and soldiers under him.

"The shopkeeper Li just now is still Zhang Dewang, and Deputy Commander Shi has also seen it." Seeing Shi Lance nodding, Zhao Shuo continued. "Shopkeeper Li is here to discuss cooperation, and in the future, the briquettes will be handed over to you, and I will tell him to buy them from you; But Zhang Dewang couldn't do it, this kid secretly caught the blacksmith who made the tools for me, and he was still buying raw materials for briquettes. He just told me that in three days, if I don't hand over the management of briquettes to him, he will let me disappear from Lin'an City. Now, if I hand over the briquettes to Deputy Commander Shi, I'm afraid he will be bad for you. ”

"It's just a splash, and he dares to threaten His Highness." Shi Lance pondered for a moment, then said. "Although the Zhang family has some power, if it offends His Highness, then it can't be spared. His Royal Highness also gave me three days, and after three days, the last general would ensure that there was no Zhang family in Lin'an City. ”
