Wan Yan Sheng laughed, "I'm Dajin and the Great Song Dynasty, if I rush to fight again, the division will be unknown, and there is the hidden worry of Western Xia, so I must guard against it." ”

"Liu Yu's waste, it's good to be able to hold his own territory, it's difficult to open the seal!"

"If Liu Yu is a talent, how can I make him emperor? The reason why I ordered him to attack Kaifeng was to make the southerners suffer from internal friction! I sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the fisherman profits, why not? ”

After Yan Zonghan listened, he slammed the table with his hand, a little sullen.

"I know you've wanted to fight again lately, don't worry, there's a time for you to fight."

【Lin'an】

Zhao Gou sat on the top of the main hall, and after seeing the sword in his hand, he was ecstatic, "I have such a strange woman in the Great Song Dynasty?" If it had appeared a few years earlier, why would Jingkang's goods have appeared, causing the second emperor to be imprisoned. Quick, spread my will, and she will come to see her immediately. ”

However, before the will was transmitted, Qin Hui, who had just been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had a bad idea.

Qin Hui was originally taken captive by the Jin people with the second emperor, but he gained the trust of Wan Yanchang and was released, and he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he must not be allowed to come to peace."

Zhao Gou asked with some surprise, "Why did Aiqing say this?" ”

Qin Hui then cleared his throat and began to elaborate on his proposition, "The Jin people have repeatedly gone south, so why did they come?" It's just gold, silver, jewelry, food, people, and the like. If there is such a person in Kaifeng, once the Jin people go south, it is enough to take the food around Kaifeng City, and they will definitely not invade Lin'an. If His Majesty takes it to Lin'an, then Kaifeng is short of food, people's livelihood is withering, and where can the Jin people go if they don't come to An'an? ”

Zhao Gou pondered for a while, and felt that what Qin Hui said made some sense, so he nodded slightly, "Ai Qing can continue." ”

"General Zong Lao sits in Kaifeng, and tens of thousands of troops are supplied by all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River, if the grain and grass in Kaifeng City are enough to be self-sufficient, then the imperial court will save a lot of expenses."

Zhao Gou felt more and more that he was reasonable, "Aiqing's thinking is strange, which makes me suddenly open my mouth!" ”

Qin Hui said a little proudly, "So you don't have to take it to Lin'an, one can provide logistical support for Zongze's army, and the other is that even if the Jin army goes south, it will retreat north to loot the surrounding area of Kaifeng City, so Lin'an can be safe, Your Majesty can sit back and relax." ”

"What Qing said is very true, then make an order, from now on, the supply of food and grass for soldiers and horses on all roads in Kaifeng City will be responsible for it, since she is the niece of Lu Haowen, and worship Zongze as her father-in-law, in order to show her merits, she can be named the lord of Dongming."

As soon as the will was about to be made, Qin Hui's eyes gurgled, and he came up with an idea to please the officials, "Your Majesty, I heard that after this summer grain harvest, those farmers can get six to eight stones of wheat per mu, and even if it is one stone, the farmers can also have food and clothing." ”

Zhao Gou raised his eyes and seemed to understand something.

Qin Hui continued, "Confucius sage said, 'Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness', and now there are countless victims in the south, hungry and poorly clothed, but the summer grain around Kaifeng City has just been harvested, and those farmers have more than enough food and clothing, and the ministers think that they can take fifty percent of the income of the farmers to supply Lin'an, so that the household department will use grain to help the refugees, in order to show Your Majesty's compassion for the people." ”

Zhao Gou listened, and became more and more fond of Qin Hui, so that the treasury would be greatly less than overhead, this idea was wonderful, "Accurate!" Aiqing is calm and strategic, she is really a pillar of the Song Dynasty, and she is promoted to ...... Promoted to the right phase, a bounty of 1,000 taels. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

……

Ten days later, Kaifeng City

After Zong Ze received the order, he was so angry that he almost fell to the ground with black eyes!

"I'm really angry with the old man, how can Your Majesty be so confused and do such a thing by listening to the words of the minister."

Lu Haowen sighed, "In the past, the grain, grass, and equipment needed by the army should be supplied by the imperial court, so how can it be reasonable to let the people supply them?" Moreover, those peasant households have already paid the tenant rent, and the imperial court has levied it for the second time, won't it lose the support of the people? ”

Zong Zemeng slapped the case, and said with a sad face, "Now that Liu Yu is eyeing Kaifeng, he should reorganize his arms to prevent him from rebelling against the Great Song Dynasty, but how can I do this purpose of the official family?" ”

Lu Haowen's heart moved at this time, and he said, "The officials and courtiers have no intention of returning to Kaifeng, and if it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before Kaifeng is breached." The intention of the following officials is not to set up a new monarch in Kaifeng......"

"Shun disciple (Lu Hao's word) said cautiously, don't mention the big rebellion again, if you set up a new king, how different are we from Liu Yu's generation? And wait for me to repair another letter and submit it to the emperor, and persuade the official family to withdraw the order. ”

Lu Haowen sighed, Zong Ze's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, the sun and the moon are clear, he knows very well in his heart, trying to convince him about it, to no avail.

At this time, it will be up to Her Royal Highness the Princess to deal with it.

After finishing his official business, Lu Hao didn't go back to his home, and went straight to the Da Song Bank in a sedan chair.

Zhao Yingluo heard that he was coming, and immediately went downstairs to greet him.

"Gong ......" He was thinking about today's events, and when he saw Zhao Yingluo coming down, he subconsciously wanted to salute.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingluo hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, "Uncle, why are you here today?" ”

"There's something to discuss with you."

Zhao Yingluo saw that his expression was a little serious, so she took him to the VIP room on the second floor, and ordered that no one was allowed to come in without her order.

After performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Lu Haowen sighed and pushed the sword in front of Zhao Yingluo, "The imperial court has issued an order, and the envoy who will come to canonize tomorrow will go to your house to canonize, how should you deal with it?" ”

After Zhao Yingluo finished reading the sword, she smiled faintly, "Since the imperial brother ordered me to supply several armies around Kaifeng City, then I will obey the order, after all, I am the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, so I should share the worries of the imperial brother." ”

Lu Haowen asked a little puzzled, "Your Highness, you must think clearly, raising an army is not a small expense!" If the hundreds of thousands of troops in Kaifeng City are all supplied by His Highness, the family business you have accumulated with great difficulty will soon be exhausted. ”

Zhao Yingluo said very calmly, "What if my industry can withstand the speed of consumption?" ”

"This ......"

"Lord Lu, it has been nearly a year since the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin people had a meeting, and I am planning to go to Zhongshan recently to earn the money of the Jin people and support the army of the Great Song Dynasty, do you think this idea is good?"

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess has already thought of a countermeasure?"

"Lord Lu, I don't do anything I'm not sure about, I don't need to worry about this matter, but there is one more thing that needs to be handled by Lord Lu."

"Your Highness, just as you command."

"The tenant rent I collect can supply the army, but the court can't requisition the grain of the peasants! It is easy to collect grain, but once it loses the support of the people here, the consequences are serious. ”

Lu Haowen sighed, "The old general of Zong was also worried about this matter, and when he left the political hall, one of the old general's slashes had been sent to Lin'an urgently, trying to persuade the official family to change his mind. ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled and shook her head, "General Zong's sword, I'm afraid it will sink into the sea again." ”
