Since Lan Gui was sent to Kaifeng last year to be the supervisor of Zhao Yingluo's private soldiers, he has been served with good food and drink every day, and he is a little happy.

Jiang Laosi instructed his subordinates to pay attention to the granules and returned to the warehouse, and then found a drinking friend Lan Gui to get drunk hibiscus, and the two chatted while eating.

"The county lord even spoils her, so why should I touch her moldy head and can't get along with her? There is eating, drinking and playing, I, the supervisor, turn a blind eye to others, and make it convenient for me, why not? ”

Lan Gui said with drunken eyes as he drank the fine grape wine.

Jiang Laosi: "But if you are recalled to Lin'an, how will you explain?" ”

"Confess? How to explain how to explain, the county lord is supported by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and led the army to defeat the gold thieves. ”

Jiang Laosi gave him a thumbs up, continued to pour him wine, and after he was full of wine and food, he ordered someone to return Lan Gui to his temporary residence, a nice mansion in a small town in the north of the city.

Kanglu all the way to the north, after ten days of trekking, finally through the Grand Canal from the water and land to Kaifeng City, arrived on the day of the arrival of the Emperor Zhao Ji very interesting.

After expressing his intention this time, Zhao Ji took him and Emperor Zhao Gou to scold again, and when Kang Lu came out of the vertical arch hall, he found that he was soaked with cold sweat from fright.

"Hey! It's really not easy to do, that's it! Let's go to the household department first, investigate Shen Wanshu's life experience, and then make a decision. ”

Kang shook his head, flicked his sleeves and boarded the carriage, heading in the direction of Tobe.

……

In the north of the city, after a 100-acre wheat field was harvested, Zhao Yingluo, Jiang Laosi and others measured the output of this field.

"County Lord, this year is indeed a bumper harvest year, and the yield of wheat per mu exceeds ten stones! According to this output, in addition to food and clothing, our farmers can also have an income of fifty or sixty taels of silver a year! This...... Even during the reign of Emperor Renzong, there was no such good year. ”

Jiang Laosi said excitedly while fiddling with the pile of grain like a hill with his hand.

"Isn't that bad?" Zhao Yingluo smelled the fragrance of wheat in the air, and her mood was extremely comfortable, now she controlled more than three million mu of land, if she collected two stones of wheat per mu as tenant rent, then this summer alone, she could harvest six million stones of wheat!

According to the price of one stone of wheat and two halves of silver, she earned fifteen million taels of silver this summer!

"Good! Nature is good! However, with such a large-scale grain flowing into the market, those grain merchants will definitely lower prices! The peasant households do not have strong bargaining power, and I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss, and as for the tenant rent we collect, I am afraid that they will not be able to sell it at last year's price. ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Who said that it was going to enter the market on a large scale?" Tell these farmers that if they want to sell food, they can come to us! The price we pay is higher than that of the grain merchants. ”

Jiang Laosi was a little stunned when he heard that the county lord was buying grain, and asked, "County lord, we can't sell the tenant rent we collect ourselves, what do we want them to do with this grain?" ”

"Naturally, it is to stabilize prices! Didn't those grain merchants want to lower prices? I'm going to raise the price up. ”

She was explaining the principle of the market to Jiang Laosi, and Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, hurried over on horseback, "County Lord, Lin'an sent Kang Lu as a patrol envoy to the two capitals, and arrived in Kaifeng." ”

Zhao Yingluo's face changed slightly, "Kang Lu came to Kaifeng?" What did he come to do? ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Jiang Laosi, "County Lord, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Jiang Laosi was very interested, "County Lord, the villain also has to arrange for people to go to the granary to collect tenant rent, and retire first." ”

After Jiang Laosi walked away, Zhao Zhen said with a solemn face, "According to my father, he came to investigate the imperial sister on the order of the emperor's brother Zhao Gou, and he went to the household department yesterday." ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly, "Let him investigate!" He couldn't find out anything! Even if something comes out, I can get him to shut up. ”

"Sister Huang still wants to hide her identity?"

Zhao Yingluo nodded, "Although I have a certain amount of power now, and I also have my father as a backer, I will not disclose my true identity until I am fully sure." I'm waiting! ”

"What are you waiting for?"

Zhao Yingluo turned her head and glanced at the blue sky in the north, "Naturally, I'm waiting for Lu Haowen and others to come with good news." ”

……

【Yanjing City】

As envoys, two old men, Lü Haowen and Li Gang, finally arrived in Yanjing on May 20 after a trek of more than ten days.

The two old men sat in the carriage, looking at the slightly dilapidated Yanjing City, sighing and sighing.

"Lord Lu, Youzhou has been lost to the Han people for a hundred years, and Emperor Taizu tried to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Liao, but unfortunately failed. Is there any hope for recovery now? ”

Lu Haowen glanced at Li Gang and said meaningfully, "If the imperial court is still this imperial court, let alone recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, it will not be easy to keep the territory of the Central Plains. If you want to recover this place, don't count on the officials. ”

Li Gang sighed, "The official family is talented, but it is weaker......"

Lu Haowen pretended to be joking and asked, "What if the throne is replaced by a different person?" Change a wise and martial person, a person who can let you and I see the restoration of this place in our lifetime, do you support it or not? ”

Li Gang saw that he actually said such disobedient words, and his head shook like a rattle, "Lord Lu, don't mention such disobedient arguments again, be careful of incurring death." ”

Lu Hao asked and smiled, "Old man, it's just a joke, who can explain the things in the court?" Just like this Yanjing City, although it has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, it can still maintain the style of the Han family, which is enough. As courtiers, we should do our best to assist the officials and do our part. ”

While the two were talking, they entered Yanjing City and rested at the post house.

The news of Wanyan Zonghan's defeat and capture reached Yanjing a few days ago, causing a lot of discussion in Dajin Kingdom!

Jin Taizong Wan Yan Sheng heard that his favorite prince Wan Yan Zongyi was captured, and he couldn't eat and sleep well for several days. I thought I could let him follow Yan Zonghan to get a military feat, but he didn't expect to become a prisoner.

As soon as he heard that the Song State had sent an envoy over, Wan Yansheng hurriedly summoned him.

According to the past practice, Lu Haowen and Li Gang were going to kneel down to meet the Emperor of Jin, but this year is different from the past, and the Great Song Dynasty has won! Therefore, the two old men just bowed and saluted.

Wan Yan Sheng, who was eager to save his son, didn't think much about etiquette, and asked straight to the point, "Today, the Song and Jin countries are in discord because of the territory of Qi, which is not what I want, but it is actually the courtiers who rashly launched a war for military merits, resulting in the misery of life." Since your envoy has come all the way to Yanjing, what is the important matter? ”

After Lu Hao asked, he saw that Yan Sheng had completely shirked the matter of the war between the two countries, and sneered in his heart.
