Chapter 144: Talking about benefits as before
Zhao Jiaren knew that he was moved. The excitement and the beating heart can prove this.
If Zhang Shun was a person who would only let others die, Zhao Jiaren would not have been moved.
If Zhang Shun pleaded for 'save Xiangyang', Zhao Jiaren would not have been moved.
When Zhang Shun, who personally went into battle to fight, begged Zhao Jiaren to 'save everyone'! Zhao Jiaren was really moved.
In the next moment, Zhao Jiaren lowered his head, instinctively looking for a reason for himself not to rescue the decent Xiangyang. In the past, Zhao Jiaren was able to easily choose to refuse to save Xiangyang, because Xiangyang was just a city in Zhao Jiaren's heart, and it was only a city related to the safety of the Lin'an government represented by Jia Xianggong and Zhao Zhao's official family.
Zhao Jiaren felt that he had done his best to the Lin'an court, and his efforts and rewards to the Lin'an court so far were completely disproportionate. If he just pays a lot without substantial returns, Zhao Jiaren has to deal with the attacks of officials, beware of the covetousness of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
However, Zhang Shun asked Zhao Jiaren to change his angle. Xiangyang is just a lifeless city, and it is not the cold walls and fortifications of Xiangyang that the Mongols spend huge manpower and material resources to besiege and attack, but the people in the city who fought for the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely those people who really bear the most brutal content of the war for the country, and it is these people who really practice patriotism with their actions. In the face of these real warriors, Zhao Jiaren can no longer make them 'die' with an outright utilitarian and practical attitude.
Although he didn't know what Zhao Jiaren was thinking in his heart, Jia Rudao knew that his goal had been achieved, and it had become possible for Zhao Jiaren to lead troops to aid Xiangyang. Let Zhang Shun go down first, Jia Rudao said to Zhao Jiaren: "Jiaren, now the copper coins that the imperial court can collect, and the grain that can be collected from the public field, at least more than 10% of the ten percent are paid by you to the imperial court." A large part of this money should have been the money you earned, and now you took it out for the sake of Da Song. You are the hero of the Great Song Dynasty. But the court is now in such a difficult situation that I really don't have anything to do. I only asked Jiaren two things, one is that please rescue Xiangyang, what does Jiaren want me to do. Another thing is, when Jiaren you help Xiangyang succeed, what do you want me to do. ”
After listening to Jia Yidao's words, Zhao Jiaren was greatly surprised. Stumped that all of a sudden everyone has grown? Do even people like Jia Yidao know how to respect others? Jia Rudao is a politician, a scathing politician.
There was confusion in his heart, but the Zhao family did not play tai chi. He knew very well to himself that if he went to help Xiangyang this time, he might regret this decision in the future. If he doesn't go to Xiangyang this time, he will inevitably regret it for the rest of his life. Even if he knows that he is not a good person, Zhao Jiaren hopes that he can stand on the side of justice. And justice requires action.
"If I am asked to lead the army, there will inevitably be a lot of discussion in the court. Jia Gong, we don't have to worry about ourselves. I don't think it's better to do this, you can send two groups of people to help Xiangyang, and I'll set off first. Maybe the men who left later will catch up with me. At that time, it was naturally best for everyone to cooperate. Even if you can't cooperate, you don't have to distinguish between high and low. ”
Zhao Jiaren told his opinion, and Jia seemed to nod from the bottom of his heart after hearing it. It was not difficult to gather a large number of reinforcements in the Great Song Dynasty, but it was difficult to organize the reinforcements effectively. Zhao Jiaren is a fourth-grade official from Jinshi, and it is not too much for him to ask to be the coach. But with such a young man in his twenties as the commander, something will inevitably happen to the reinforcements. The leaders of the army were not going to bow down to this young man in his twenties. At that time, there will inevitably be a fierce internal personnel struggle.
If it was according to Zhao Jiaren's suggestion, it would be much easier to form reinforcements, and it would have reduced Jia Yidao too much trouble. However, Jia Yidao had to consider a problem, if Zhao Jiaren did this, it would mean that his troops would almost have to bear the heaviest battles alone, but they would have to be greatly divided by others in terms of combat merits.
"Doesn't Jiaren feel wronged by himself?" Jia asked puzzled.
Zhao Jiaren didn't want to say that he couldn't trust other people, so he moved directly to the next topic, "Since I am doing things for the country, there are no grievances to talk about." Jia Gong, if I can successfully rescue Xiangyang, I will bring my soldiers back, and you will have to find someone else when you are stationed in Xiangyang. ”
"Good! You just have to break into Xiangyang, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Jia Rudao replied decisively.
Zhao Jiaren continued: "If I can successfully rescue Xiangyang, I probably won't be able to stay in Fujian. I don't want to go to Lin'an, I want to go to Quang Nam two roads. ”
Hearing this, Jia Rudao's brows furrowed with a Sichuan character. With such merits, it is not too uncommon to be a right prime minister even if he has been promoted several levels. When it comes to being in power, it is even more deserved. However, Zhao Jiaren actually wants to go to Guangnan and Nan Road, which is completely abnormal.
In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, Lingnan was almost a place of exile. There are few Han people in that place, but there are many natives, and there are miasma everywhere. Mo said that it was inconceivable to go to Lingnan after making great achievements. Even if Zhao Jiaren went to Lingnan to serve as the pacification envoy of Guangzhou Zhizhou and Guangnan East Road after the end of his errand as a pacification envoy of Fuzhou Zhizhou and Fujian Road, it would be regarded as a denigration.
Jia Yidao knew that Zhao Jiaren was not a joker, and since he brought it up, it must have been something that had been carefully considered. So Jia Rudao wanted to agree, but he couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to go to Lingnan?" ”
Zhao Jiaren knew that Jia Rudao was not easy to deceive, so he simply told the truth: "If the Navigation Guild wants to become bigger, it must rely on the two Guangzhous and build the two Guangzhous. At this time, it is already difficult for others to do it. Moreover, if the officials who went to Lingnan did not have some resentment in their hearts, if they spilled their anger on the navigation guild, I would not be able to bear it. In that case, let me do it myself in Lingnan. ”
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. After listening to Zhao Jiaren's explanation, Jia Yidao also felt that he could understand. The Navigation Guild is the bulk of Zhao Jiaren's money, and this matter is not only clear to Jia Yidao, but also many people in the Lin'an Imperial Court know about it. Since the imperial court can't give any rewards, it has to give policies.
"I can say yes now. Whether it succeeds or not, I will ask Jia Ren to go to Quang Nam East Road. Is this official position ......" Jia Rudao pondered for a moment, and he had already thought about it, and blurted out a list of official names, "Guangnan East and West Road appeasement and control ambassadors know Guangzhou and Liangguang coastal control envoys. Mention some cotton. ”
"There are also Yunnan envoys." Zhao Jiaren added a position that Jia Yidao didn't expect.
At this time, Jia seemed to be shocked, he didn't expect that Zhao Jiaren would not only have to do business on Guangnan East Road, but also consider the matter of fighting with Mongolia.
