The prince of the world, the last general knows that the prince of the world is for disarmament, but the last general feels that disarmament is really impossible! Zhao Tingshan said solemnly.

"This is the emperor's will." Li Junze said lightly.

"But the last general thinks that the general will not be subject to the king's order outside!" Zhao Tingshan said confidently: "As soon as the summer is over, the Liao people will definitely make a comeback, and when the war starts, it will be the people of Dengzhou who will suffer." ”

A faint smile flashed in Li Junze's eyes, and when Zhao Tingshan saw this, he secretly said in his heart, so he made persistent efforts and said: "Moreover, the last general feels that his life is his own, and he has to control it in his own hands to feel at ease, what does the prince think?" ”

Li Junze raised his eyebrows, and said in a light tone: "I said it, disarmament is the emperor's will, disobeying the king's order is a capital crime, and his life is his own, and there is only one, what does Lord Zhao think?" ”

Zhao Tingshan said: "That's true, it's just that this monarch's order also has to be divided into how to obey the law." After a pause, he cautiously glanced at Li Junze's expression, and then said: "The imperial court wants to disarm, it is nothing more than because of the shortage of military spending, but now the soldiers in the army are fighting for the country, if they are suddenly disarmed, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies." ”

Li Junze's expression did not change, but he did not interrupt Zhao Tingshan's words.

Zhao Tingshan glanced at his expression carefully, but his heart gradually settled down, and his words became more and more pleasant.

"The status of the banner generals is low, but the soldiers in the army are all men who value love and righteousness, they have not read, but they know how to be grateful to Dade, who is good to them, who will know how to repay them, who treats them well, they all know very well in their hearts." Zhao Tingshan continued.

Li Junze curled the corners of his lips, and a smile flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting, "That's right, but the holy decree has been issued, what can Lord Zhao do?" ”

Zhao Tingshan learned from his daughter's appearance, made a deep and thoughtful appearance, paused, and then said sincerely: "If you want to keep these soldiers, the first and most important thing is to solve the problem of military needs, one is food, the other is military, can the prince know, who is the richest in the whole Dengzhou?" ”

Li Junze didn't speak, but Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, and then said: "I heard in Shangjing that Sun Fugui, the richest man in Daqi, was from Dengzhou, and the emperor commended him for his meritorious service in paying taxes. ”

Zhao Tingshan smiled slightly: "Yes, there have been constant wars at the border over the years, and there is a shortage of materials in Dengzhou, this Sun Fugui sees business opportunities and makes a lot of money by buying and selling," After a pause, he continued: "But the prince guessed wrong, the richest person in the entire Dengzhou is not Sun Fugui, but Ci'en Temple!" ”

Jiang Yi was stunned and blurted out: "Impossible, right?" How much money can a monk temple have? ”

Zhao Tingshan smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Li Junze.

Li Junze nodded slightly: "Although this statement is somewhat unexpected, it is true." ”

Jiang Yi still felt a little unbelievable, how much money could a monk temple have?

"Guard Jiang, do you know how many people go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace every day to offer incense?" Zhao Tingshan asked: "Not counting the fifteenth day of the first month, even on weekdays, the pilgrims who go to the Ci'en Temple are also in an endless stream, because of the perennial war in Dengzhou, many people have family members who have joined the army, so go to the Ci'en Temple to incense to seek the safety of their families, almost the daily life of the people of Dengzhou." ”

When Jiang Yi heard this, he suddenly understood.

Dengzhou has a large population, and they will go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to add some incense money, not to mention asking the monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace to do a supernatural ceremony.

And the Temple of Mercy and Grace are all monks, and even the food they eat is self-sufficient, so after so many years, the Temple of Mercy and Grace is naturally very rich.

Zhao Tingshan arched his hand and complimented: "The prince is a person who understands, indeed, in the entire Dengzhou, Sun Fugui is only rich on the surface, but it is the Temple of Mercy and Grace that is not visible!" After a pause, he continued: "Looking at the Temple of Mercy and Grace, most of the fields as far as the eye can see are owned by the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but the monks in the temple have been limited and no one has cultivated them over the years. ”

Zhao Tingshan's voice changed, and he looked at Li Junze again: "The prince should have heard that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, right?" In wartime, the most important thing is not silver, but food! ”

That Sun Fugui quickly started by buying and selling grain, and the Sun family provided nearly half of the military rations to the imperial court!

These grains were purchased by Sun Fugui at low prices from wealthy areas, and then transported to Dengzhou, where the Sun family had a secret grain transportation route.

Li Junze nodded his finger lightly, his eyes were secretive; "Lord Zhao, do you know what you mean by these words?"

Zhao Tingshan said confidently: "The last general naturally knows, isn't it just to share the worries and solve problems for the prince, but also to do some good things for Buddhism?" After a pause, he said solemnly: "As long as the soldiers who should be disarmed are hidden in the land of Buddhism, and these reclamation lands are also sown, the military expenditure problem can also be solved, which can be described as killing four birds with one stone!" ”

Jiang Yi lowered his head and counted with his fingers, no matter how he counted, he only counted three, how did these four come about? He felt that Zhao Tingshan's scholarly family was probably in vain, and he couldn't even count them, so he couldn't help but pouted secretly.

Li Junze hooked the corners of his lips and showed a faint smile.
