Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The candidates to participate in political affairs have not yet been finalized, and the recommended memorials are still being handed up.

The recommendation memorials piled up in a few days, but Zhao Ning didn't read any of them.

why?

Because my recommendation system in the Song Dynasty is the same as that in the Ming Dynasty, which is bullshit.

A group of bureaucrats, according to their own ideas, come to recommend their own people. After the recommended person takes office, if something goes wrong, the recommender does not have to bear any responsibility.

There is no need to be responsible, so many people either open their mouths or seek personal gain.

So there is no need to read those recommended memorials.

This recommendation system also needs to be changed, but not now, everything has priorities.

On May [-], just after a group of people were killed, the news from Hebei finally came again.

Zhao Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Zong Ze was withdrawing troops and Cizhou, the crisis in Daming Mansion had been lifted, and Jin soldiers had retreated across the board.

Gao Lian continued to ransack the house with their henchmen.

And the report documents from various prefectures in Hebei have been sent to the capital at high speed.

During this period of time, letter after letter fell in front of Zhao Ning like snowflakes.

The news slowly spread in the capital that the Jin people had withdrawn to the north of Cizhou.

Even on May [-]th, some news came that the main force of the Jin army might have retreated to Taiyuan Mansion.

Now, the imperial court has really confirmed that the Jin army's army has really withdrawn to the north.

But as to where to withdraw, it is still at a loss.

What is the current situation in Kaidefu?

The fall of Taiyuan, isn't the situation worse than ever before?

On the eighth day of May, Gao Lian and his henchmen were still busy.

Not only was the house ransacked, but also the businessmen who had contacts with those officials were searched.

As for how to deal with the families of the officials who were killed, I have also thought about it.

Send to the frontier!

What?The current frontier is near Handan?

Then send it there, isn't it necessary to build strategic depth there next?

To do coolies.

How many families are there for the 37 officials?

A total of 3050 people!

There are almost eighty people in a family.

This also illustrates another problem. The Northern Song Dynasty was the beginning of the population explosion of the ancient feudal dynasty, which exceeded [-] million people for the first time. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the bureaucracy was corrupt, and the poor could not even get married, let alone have children.

This is called being forced to be a bachelor.

On the contrary, rich people can marry a lot and have many children in their families.

This still reflects the problem of extreme wealth and poverty.

If this problem is not resolved, the Great Song Dynasty will not be saved!

On May [-], envoys sent by Zhao Guan's family arrived in Cizhou and summoned Zongze to Beijing.

On May [-], Generalissimo Zhao Gou led his army of King Qin to the north bank of the Yellow River in the name of King Qin.

At this time, Zhao Gou had also confirmed that the Jin army had really retreated, and his pressure suddenly decreased.

Zhao Gou's army, with flags like clouds, looks like a rainbow.

Those who didn't know thought they had just gone to the north and rubbed Jin Jun on the ground a hundred times.

On the morning of May [-], Zhao Gou's memorial was delivered to the capital.

He still knows the rules. After all, he has led an army of [-] King Qin, and now the Jin army has retreated.

So first give a letter to Zhao Ning in a regular manner.

Chapter 79 I fought wars in the Song Dynasty, and I was absolutely number one in making money

Wang Boyan said to Zhao Gou: "Your Highness, you have made great contributions to the King this time. Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations, Your Highness."

Zhao Gou sighed, and said with some disappointment: "Isn't the credit all due to Zong Ze?"

"Your Highness, Zong Ze is also from the Grand Marshal's Mansion. His Deputy Marshal was appointed by you. Isn't his credit the credit of yours?"

Zhao Gou was slightly taken aback. According to what Wang Boyan said, it seemed to make sense!

"With such a great contribution, the officials will definitely come to welcome you in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below informed the special envoy of the emperor to come.

The person who came was Zhang Jun who had just taken office.

Zhang Jun was welcomed into the tent.

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang."

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Someone knows Zhang Jun, a member of the Privy Council."

Everyone was startled, especially Kang Wang and Wang Boyan.

Wasn't Zhiyuan Feng Chen last year?

Who is this Zhang Jun? I have never heard of it before.

"A certain came here by His Majesty's order, to greet King Qin's army, and to summon King Kang to the capital."

Zhao Gou said: "The minister has received the decree."

Zhang Jun said: "King Kang, please hand over the Generalissimo seal."

Huang Qianshan on the side quickly said: "The Grand Marshal was appointed by the government, so you handed it over just as you said."

"This is His Majesty's edict, do you want to disobey it?"

Huang Qianshan immediately retracted his head back.

They are attached to Kang Wang, but not to the extent that they are willing to rebel with Kang Wang.

Don't look at Zhao Gou's [-] army now, it's not a small show, but this [-] army is not pulled out by him.

His prestige in this army is not much.

Who is full and follows him against the emperor?

Therefore, Zhao Ning issued an edict, and Zhao Gou could only hand over his military power, and he had no other choice.

Zhao Gou handed over the Generalissimo's official seal with some reluctance.

Zhang Jun took it from his hand and said, "Your Highness, get ready and see you in Beijing."

"it is good."

Zhao Ye said: "Then how should I arrange it?"

Zhang Jun said: "Everyone, stay here first, and I will make arrangements."

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, how long will the [-] troops be stationed, and how to solve the problem of food and grass?" It was Wang Boyan who asked.

"The West Mansion will make arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

One word from Zhang Jun sent Wang Boyan back.

It means that it is no longer a state of war, the Generalissimo has handed over the official seal of the Generalissimo, the Generalissimo's Mansion no longer exists, and all military and political affairs are handed over to the Privy Council.

After speaking, Zhang Jun went out.

He went to find a person, a person whom the emperor asked to meet by name.

Who?

Han Shizhong!

Soon, he found Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong asked with a puzzled look: "I don't know why this Shangguan is looking for me?"

"You are Han Liangchen?"

"Exactly."

"A certain is Zhang Jun, who knows about the affairs of the Privy Council."

Han Shizhong was even more shocked. He knew that the Privy Council was the Minister of the West Mansion.

Han Shizhong belonged to the Western Army, while Zhang Jun's status was higher than the highest commander of the Western Army.

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's Your Majesty who wants to see you."

Han Shizhong was immediately stunned.

Soon, Zhang Jun took Zhao Gou and Han Shizhong across the Yellow River and rushed to the capital.

It has been almost a month since the Jin army retreated, and Zhao Ding is constantly sending food to Tokyo City, and the food in Tokyo City is getting more and more day by day.

It is barely enough to guarantee a hundred thousand troops on the north bank of the Yellow River for a period of time.

The reason why the [-] troops stayed there was actually with Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze.

As a center-line defense army, if they are incorporated into the Hebei defense line, a considerable number of people may enter the new army and receive brand-new military training.

So, just stayed there.

And it happened that Zhao Ning ransacked his home and made a small fortune, so it was time to pay the army and reorganize the Hebei defense line.

On the morning of May [-]th, Zhao Ding returned to the capital.

The first thing Zhao Ding did when he returned to Zhengshitang was to hear that Zhao Guan's family beheaded 37 heads on the first day of May.

Abbreviation: Crazy killing!

As soon as they heard that Dazai was back, some officials immediately ran to the gate of the Zhengshitang, and began to cry about the days of fear and fear in the capital during this period.

Then everyone reprimanded the treacherous official Gao Qiu, and cursed Qin Hui for harming the country.

Zhao Ding expressed that he was also shocked, why did such a terrible thing happen when he came back from a trip?

He immediately went to the palace to face the saint.

Hearing that Zhao Ding asked to see him, Zhao Ning announced it immediately, and he had already expected that Zhao Ding would mention murder.

As a civil servant in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ding definitely couldn't accept killing so many people in one go.

In order to deal with the prime minister, Zhao Ning has prepared a set of rhetoric.

This set of rhetoric will definitely turn Zhao Ding into his loyal supporter.

Zhao Ding entered the palace.

"The minister sees the official family."

"You are back, I have worked hard for you during this time. I have been paying attention to the news of grain entering Beijing recently. I heard that grain is unloaded at the ferry of Bianhe River and Caihe River every day."

"The first batch of grain dispatched from the Lianghuai River has already entered the capital. I have just arrived in the capital and checked it out. If there are notes, 50 shi has arrived. Within three months, 300 million shi will arrive in the capital one after another."

Three million shi is 300 million catties of grain.

There are about 120 million people in Tokyo. Each person consumes 120 million catties of grain per day, and 3.6 million catties can be eaten for 300 days.

Of course, this is the ideal state.

There must be more food to ensure the normal operation of Tokyo City.

As far as the water transportation system of the Song Dynasty was concerned, it was indeed developed enough, much stronger than relying solely on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal during the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the most important reason why we have always decided to stay in Kaifeng.

"In this way, the food crisis in the capital has been greatly alleviated?"

"If grain from Jinghu Road (Hubei and Hunan) also enters Beijing one after another, the grain problem in the capital will be easily solved."
