Li Gang looked at Chen Dong, who was still in the same temperament as he had been ten years ago, and Li Gang understood that Chen Dong could not figure out this truth; Li Gang thought about it and asked bitterly: "The Northern Expedition of the Dingbei Army, won't you secretly obstruct it?" Think about it clearly, Chen Dong, you said that King Kang trusts you, can you guarantee that the grain and grass of the army will be sent to Hebei all the way?"

Li Gang's words were like a round of combination punches, which made Chen Dong's eyes bloom, if it weren't for the fact that the two had been friends for many years, Chen Dong would have thought that the person in front of him was not Li Gang, when did Li Gang have lost his passion and become a person who values results. Hu Yin also looked at Li Gang in surprise, Li Gang's words almost said that King Kang Zhao Gou was an obstacle to the Northern Expedition of the Dingbei Army, and even Yang Zhi was not so bold; if Li Gang's words were spread, Zhao Gou would definitely regard Li Gang as an enemy.

Li Gang looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want." Since Chen Dong has a pure heart, he must realize that different goals have different ways of walking, and it is impossible to have one road to two different goals. ”

Chen Dong is also a smart person, wandering a few steps and asking, "Isn't this still a personal dispute?"

Li Gang said lightly: "Even the saints are tolerating the soldiers on the front line, what can you not tolerate? Since it is a war, it is convincing only when it is won, otherwise how can the rewards and punishments be clear." Chen Dong, in fact, I think that you should be transferred out of Shangshu Province now, go to Yingtianfu to do things, see what kind of life the people are living there, see if the soldiers over there are preparing to fight with the Jin army or what they are doing, and when you think clearly, you will look at things from another perspective. ”

Chen Dong reluctantly smiled and said, "I understand, the king is defeated." ”

Hu Yin glanced at Chen Dong and said: "You don't understand, let me give you the simplest number, a merchant sells 1,000 catties of tea in Bianliang and pays a tax, only 30% of the tax paid in Yingtianfu, you say, where will the businessman do business?"

Even if Chen Dong looked down on the merchants, he understood the difference in profits, and when he thought about the disputes between the merchants on the street over the money, he could only be silent and silent; a few people scattered in a huff, and Li Gang remembered that Liang Juewu said that Yang Zhi was rebuilding the firearms army, so he went to the left-behind division.

The fifty thunderbolts transported by the Jin army were blown up in a mess, but Yang Zhi asked Xin Pu to find some craftsmen and gunners in Bianliang to debug and repair them, and found that there were still twenty good ones, so he asked Wei Dingguo to recruit gunners and rebuild the firearms army. After Li Gang came, Yang Zhi accompanied Li Gang to see it, and both of them were still quite satisfied.

Breaking up with Li Gang and returning to the left-behind division, Yang Zhi decided to melt down the remaining thirty thunderbolt cannons that could not be repaired to mint money, because Wanyan Zongfu looted too much last time, the money supervisor on Jingxi Road was looted by the Jin army again, and now there is a shortage of copper coins in the Bianliang market, but the Runzhou household department is deliberately making things difficult, and the copper coins on Huainan and Jinghu roads cannot be transported according to the good figures.

In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty placed a money prison in the five roads of Jingxi, Huainan, Liangzhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jinghu, with 100,000 yuan per year in Jingxi and Huainan, and 150,000 yuan per year in Liangzhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jinghu; The Jin army went south twice, but it did not affect the operation of the coinage prison, and the copper coins did not come to Bianliang, but had a relationship with the household department.

Bianliang is now short of materials, Yang Zhi naturally can't allow this situation to continue for a long time, once it affects morale, all the efforts made by Yang Zhi in Bianliang in the early stage will come to naught, so Yang Zhi must make a counterattack, to let the Xie Ke family know that there are some things that cannot be done, and once they are done, the consequences will be very serious.

Yang Zhi found Wang Lun, Zhu Tong and Xin Pu, Wang Lun returned to Bianliang before Yang Zhi, and after Yang Zhi arrived, he let Wang Lun hang up the position of a Yu Marquis in the Left-behind Division; Yang Zhi asked: "How is the investigation of the matter in Qianzhuang?"

Wang Lun was the person in charge of this matter, and immediately reported: "Seven of the twelve money houses in Bianliang have business in the north, and it is good that the monks have taken the account books of these seven families in the north, but now nine of the twelve families say that their account books have been taken away by the good monks, and they obviously do not want to give the money back to those who borrowed money." However, the treasury was robbed, it should be true, after all, the people who moved it were all from the city, and my people had already asked. ”

Yang Zhi asked, "Did those merchants and lenders file a lawsuit?"

"I have sued, but many of the people who handled it have either died or gone to other places, and the money bank has no account to check, and the IOU is said to be fake; behind these money banks are all powerful people, and the merchants and ordinary people have no way, and we do not have the strength to check one by one. The beautiful bearded man Zhu Wu became a little depressed, if he hadn't been sick that day, he would have been killed by Fan Qiong along with Wu Ge, but no one listened to him afterwards, and they all thought that he was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Yang Zhi nodded and said: "If we want others to believe that we are a qualified government, we must do this well, if the money bank is not closed, it means that the account book is still there, and you give me all the information." ”

Yang Zhi then went to Kaifeng Mansion to find Liang Xun, Liang Xun was reprimanding a priest, saw Yang Zhi come in, signaled to the priest to leave; ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "We need to arrange someone to handle this case, there are not enough officials, I will send five hundred people from the army to you." ”

Liang Xun groaned: "Then let Zeng Wei and Guo Zhongxiao come forward, they are all veterans of prison." ”

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, just do it, you still do the daily work, and I will personally supervise it." ”

Liang Xun said with a smile: "Don't worry, if the Xie Ke family works hard, I can bear it." In addition, let me tell you something, you talk to the princess, take Cai Wenrou away, my wife introduced her to a lot of people, but they were all rejected. Everyone knows that she is focused on you, my father-in-law is dead, we don't care about those false names, as long as she lives well. ”。

Liang Xun is Yang Zhi's brother, and there is a sense of desperation in and out of his words, Yang Zhi smiled awkwardly and said: "Now I am full of standing firm, I can't think of this matter, so when Cai Wenrou comes to Bianliang and asks her what she thinks, I will write a letter to the princess and try it." ”

Liang Xun also knew that Yang Zhi had no choice, how could he marry a concubine casually, and the fourth sister was because the marriage contract was in the past, and now he could only look at Zhao Yingluo's thoughts; Zeng Yu and Guo Zhongxiao got the information provided by Wang Lun and the others, and immediately began to select the case from the complaint paper that went to Kaifeng Mansion to file a lawsuit. After Lu Yihao calculated the grain and copper coin figures of the transfer department in Bianliang, Yang Zhi wrote to Runzhou and Taiyuan, suggesting that a coinage supervisor be set up in Taiyuan and Bianliang.
