The night was quiet, Chai Jin couldn't sleep alone in the tent where he stayed, and he lay on the couch with his clothes, turning over and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up, lit the lamp and read. When it was www.biquge.info fourth watch, I suddenly heard a noise of people outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted, and the red and bright colors in front of me flickered, and there was already one more person in front of him.

When Chai Jin looked at it, he was suddenly scared and sweaty, but the person in front of him was Hu Sanniang! The book in his hand fell, Chai Jin was stunned, but Sanniang smiled like a flower, only looked at Chai Jin and said: "Why did the Chai transfer envoy arrive at the Dengzhou Navy Division's camp?" Is there any business in Jeju Province? ”

Chai Jin came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly got up, and bowed for a long time: "Lord, I ...... here" Before he explained, Sanniang waved her hand to stop, put away her smile, and said lightly: "I don't want to hear you make up stories, your intentions, Sanruan has already said it." ”

When Chai Jin heard this, his face changed slightly, but then he calmed down, and only said: "Lord, I just resigned from the official ......" Sanniang interrupted him again, and said lightly: "Chai Daguan, you don't have to say much, if you want to resign, why do you want to pull Zheng Tianshou, Wang Xiaohu, Du Qian, Song Wan and a few of them?" You still want to win more people! ”

Chai Jin's face changed even more, he didn't expect Sanniang to even know that he had contacted Zheng Tianshou and resigned together, but he opened his mouth wide, but he didn't know what to say. Sanniang pulled a pestle in the tent, sat down, let Chai Jin get up, pointed to the pestle on the side, and motioned Chai Jin to sit down.

Chai Jin sat next to him, his heart beating wildly, and he didn't know what Sanniang would do with him. Resigning is a trivial matter, and it is not something that Sanniang does not tolerate, Chai Jin knows it, but if he pulls a few people to resign together, it is not a simple matter.

Sanniang sighed, looked at Chai Jin and said: "When I first met the big officials in Chaijiazhuang, do the big officials still remember that I had a conversation with the big officials in front of the hall that night?" Chai Jin said slightly: "It happened many years ago, I can't remember it clearly." ”

Sanniang said: "In front of the hall back then, I said: The big officials have a good calculation, raise 3,000 guests in their own village, make friends with the world's heroes, and then cultivate Liangshan as a wing, once the time is ripe, you can erect a flag and raise troops, raise your arms, and want to recover the Great Zhou, but so? Thinking about it at this moment, the idea of returning to the country has never been extinguished. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chai Jin was so frightened that the three souls disappeared and the seven spirits disappeared, and hurriedly fell to the ground, and said: "There is no such thought!" Sanniang ignored him, and continued to say: "Your heart is higher than the sky, but your life is thinner than paper, and all the arrangements are used by others, there is Song Jiang in the front, and I Hu Lan in the back, above Liangshan, you can only be a money and grain manager." After Zhao'an, my rule is stricter, and you have no hope of recovering the country, so this trip I want to take advantage of my improper handling of Yan Qing and Li Kui, and win over a few depressed people to leave together, set up another mountain, and then try to restore the country, right? ”

Chai Jin was sweating, and said again and again: "Lord, I have no such thoughts, Xiao Ke is just not used to being an official, and he just wants to go into hiding." Sanniang sneered and said lightly: "I said back then, you are a person with great ambition and talent, although you have the ambition of Meng Weijun, but you do not have the talent of Meng Weijun." If you want to do such a rebellious thing, you should be quiet, and start with the people you are close to, but you are so self-righteous that you only say that Sanruan is the same as you, and then you take the risk of coming here to talk about the three of them. Chai Daguan, if you act like this, I don't care if I don't ask, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to succeed. ”

Chai Jin was stunned and didn't know what to say. Sanniang raised her hand slightly, signaling him to get up, Chai Jin trembled and stood up, Sanniang said coldly: "Okay, you have to resign, and you will return to Jeju Mansion tomorrow to deliver the errand, but Zheng Tianshou and the others will not go with you." Do you know why I knew so easily about your stupid tricks? Even Zheng Tianshou and a few of them don't want to go with you, so they will report to me. Although Du Qian and Song Wan were favored by you back then, they all saw that you were not the master, how could they follow? Wang Xiaohu and Zheng Tianshou are the old department of Song Jiang, both of them are trembling, I am afraid that if there is a slight mistake, I will punish them, how can they go on an adventure with you? ”

Chai Jin's face was miserable, and he hung his head and was silent. Sanniang said again: "Big official, if you are really ambitious, if you want to restore the country, after resigning, you will go to win over a team of people and make a vigorous effort, I still admire you, maybe for the sake of the past, I will help you." But now that you are so despicable and have done such things as digging into the corners of people's walls, you will go your own way in the future, and you will be cut off from righteousness. ”

Chai Jin was speechless in a daze, and the killing thoughts in his heart rose sharply, but he suddenly remembered what Sanniang said to him back then: "Chai Daguan, you can't fight me, do you still want to kill me?" With a shock in his heart, the killing thought suddenly disappeared, and he withered on the pestle, and he didn't dare to look up at Hu Sanniang.

Sanniang got up, and no longer looked at Chai Jin, leaving only one sentence and drifting away: "After resigning, you still don't want to regain the country, without the support of Liangshan, with your intelligence, you will only bring about your own destruction, isn't it good to be your rich owner with peace of mind?" It's useless to talk too much, so you can do it yourself. Only Chai Jin was left cold on the spot, at a loss.

A few days later, Sanniang returned to Jeju Mansion, and Zheng Tianshou, Wang Xiaohu, Du Qian, and Song Wan were all summoned to the mansion. Chai Jin's matter, although Sanniang first got the secret report of Jinyiwei, but later the four of them came to Jeju Mansion to ask to see Sanniang, and they just wanted to show it one-sidedly. But after Sanniang received the report, he went to Dengzhou non-stop, Chai Jin lobbied around, although no one really followed, but he lobbied around like this, it would also cause rumors, so Sanniang went to Tie Chai Jin for the first time.

If Chai Jin is willing to listen to Sanniang's words, he will go back to Jeju Mansion to resign, and there will be no more trouble, Sanniang can let him go, but if he still contacts others everywhere, Sanniang will teach Jinyiwei to do it, secretly arrest him, and then convict him.

Therefore, after Zheng Tianshou arrived in Jeju Mansion, like Wang Jin, he could only wait for Sanniang to come back. Sure enough, as Sanniang expected, Zheng Tianshou and the four were unwilling to follow Chai Jin, and when they met, the four of them all told Chai to come in to lobby, and they all swore that they would never resign from the government and set up another mountain. After listening to the words of the four, Sanniang comforted her with kind words, and the four of them put their minds at ease and returned to the state and county to do their jobs with peace of mind.

A few days later, Chai Jin really resigned, and then returned to Cangzhou with his family, Sanniang also kept his promise and did not embarrass him. After Chai entered, Sanniang ordered Jiang Jing to take over his errand as a transfer envoy, and then saw Wang Jin and ordered him to take over Jiang Jing's errand. Wang Jin happily accepted the order, although he was a general, but whether he was the governor of Nuanquan Village or the governor of Yanzhou Mansion, he was on the horse to manage the troops, and the money and grain were on the horse, and it was not difficult to manage some logistics and military affairs.

After a turmoil was resolved, Sanniang discussed the matter with Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, Huang Wenbing, and Zhu Wu. Lu Junyi said: "This matter is a bit tricky, the brothers below are indeed a little complaining because of Yan Qing and Li Kui, but Yan Qing and Li Kui are doing undercover big things, I am afraid that if there are more people who know, the two of them will be at risk." But it is not clear, and I am afraid that the brothers will think wildly. ”

Gongsun Sheng groaned: "But it's a little hard to explain, and later there will be three ruans who will resign and go to sea, and the three of them are also ordered to go south to be privateer pirates, and they are afraid that the brothers will not know what to do, and they will have some criticism in their hearts." ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that I can't trust the brothers, Yan Qing and others, the less one person knows, the less risk there is, and I will bear the infamy of this matter alone." This is also the time to test the brothers, to test whether they still trust me, Hu Lan! ”

Zhu Wu bowed his head slightly and said: "Judging from the behavior of Zheng Tianshou and the four of them this time, the brothers still trust the lord, and they will not let others go away without saying a word." When the news that Yan Qing and Li Kui voted for Fang La, the brothers are not stupid, and some smart people will guess, and the truth will naturally be revealed when the time comes. ”

Sanniang said with a sigh: "That's all for this, well, it's winter now, and I want to go to the Liao Kingdom in the spring of next year, one is to explore the reality of the Liao and Jin countries, and the other is to contact some Han warriors in the north, so that when the Jin Kingdom enters the Kou in the future, I will also be prepared." ”

Then talking about political affairs, although Shandong Road suffered from a major drought, but fortunately, the town guard office handled it properly, and after the autumn, the autumn rain came, alleviating the drought, and the various places did not have no harvest, plus after improving the water conservancy, the autumn harvest was also considered a good harvest.

The salt and iron decree promulgated by the town guard government has achieved initial results, and merchants in various places have sold salt and iron and other goods that were previously franchised, which greatly reduced the selling price of these goods, benefited the people, and prospered the industrial and commercial industry, and the impact was not too great.

After the New Deal, a large number of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses were abolished, and the local box soldiers were merged into the construction corps, which was responsible for reclaiming military camps, building ports and wharves, mining mines, and building official roads.

In addition, Shandong Road began to build sea ships, and with the support of Li Jun and other navies, the people also began to carry out sea trade, and more trade with Quanzhou and other places. However, after Goryeo was defeated by the Khitan in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, it had cut off trade with the Song State for many years, but Li Jun and others were ready to open the way with the navy and reopen the sea trade to Goryeo. At the same time, a number of merchant ships were also sent to Fuso to open up trade routes.

Time flies, after the New Year, snow falls on Shandong Road, which is a good omen for the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng. Samniang convened the generals and officials of various states and counties in Jeju Prefecture and gathered together, and it was a lively and lively New Year. And on the seventh day after the New Year, the annual meeting of the second year after the opening of Shandong Road was held. At the meeting, all government affairs were explained clearly, and the goals and tasks of each state and county this year were set, and the annual financial and tax budgets were clearly determined, and finally the gains and losses of last year's government affairs were summarized, and the meritorious military generals and officials were rewarded, and the officials who were ineffective were punished.

Another two months passed, it was already March of Yangchun, watching that everything was going well on Shandong Road, the siege of Runzhou had been relieved, and the Fang La Yi Army and the Song Army had temporarily formed a confrontation situation, and the Song Dynasty was helpless to take Fang La for a while. Hearing that Yue Fei was Fang La's son-in-law, Sanniang secretly rejoiced in her heart, with this relationship, Yue Fei was afraid that it would not be possible for Song Ting to reuse it in the future.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Sanniang entrusted everything to Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, Huang Wenbing, and Zhu Wu, and she and Chen Liqing took eighteen iron guards, pretended to be merchants, and went north to inquire about the news in person. (To be continued.) )
