Chapter 302 Yin Zhu [Part 1]
"Prince, what's wrong? What's the point?" Yang Qing rubbed the inside of his thigh that was a little painful on the horse's back, and looked at the recruitment place disapprovingly and asked.
Zhao Feng said with a complicated expression: "These people are already displaced, but not many people are willing to become soldiers. It should be noted that even the soldiers of the wing can barely support two or three people. What's more, the soldiers recruiting now are recruiting soldiers of the imperial guards. Not to mention the 500-cent military pay per month, the two stones of food alone is enough for the five people in the family to eat. Once the war starts, there will be various subsidies and rewards, and the income is very high. Under such good conditions, there are so few people to apply for the recruitment. Can't you see the reason Shuyu?"
Yang Qing thought for a while and said, "It's really strange that the prince said this. But I think it's because the man in Guanzhong has stronger self-esteem! If possible, who would be a thief-equipped army?"
"It's not that simple reason!" Mei Yaochen looked quite disappointed and sighed, "If the officials were not wrong, it seems that the people of Shaanxi believed that although they could get a lot of money and food when joining the army, the government army had more defeats and less victory in the Xixia. And even if they win, they were just victory in defending the city. How could the people not see these wars? Money and food are good, but if they were brought to the battlefield, they would probably defeat the battle. So what if they were rich at that time?"
"This..." Yang Qing didn't know what to say, but his voice came to his mouth and he choked immediately.
Zhao Qian sighed softly, looked at the recruiting place with a heavy mood. Then he turned his head and looked into the distance without saying anything.
Several staff members were also in a heavy mood. Those who were aware of the knowledge and tactful did not speak at this time to relieve Zhao Qian, so as not to be unable to pat the horse and the villain would fall on the horse's legs.
Fengxiang Mansion is quite close to Jingzhao Mansion on the map, but the actual distance is not at all, a total of 350 miles. However, although this distance is long, the road conditions are very good, and you can also take a boat. However, in order to inspect the long-distance situation, Zhao Qian did not choose to take a boat.
However, it didn't take long to leave Jingzhao Mansion. He hired a large ship to let Hua Xiangrong take a boat to set off.
Zhao Jin and his group rode their horses and rushed on the road, but they didn't have much slower, but they worked a lot. Especially Yang Qing, who often complained about what the flesh on his thigh was grinding, just thinking about it on the big boat. However, Zhao Jin did not agree, but refused.
Are you kidding? This guy Yang Qing doesn’t hurt him. How can Zhao Jin use people?
The reason is very legitimate. Although Qin Feng Road is located at a relative rear, it is impossible not to fight. Instead of practicing equestrianism at that time, it is better to practice equestrianism now so as to avoid being dragged down during wars.
On August 24th, Zhao Jin finally arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.
Fengxiang Prefecture was originally named Qizhou, because Qishan, the Longxing land of the Zhou Dynasty, was in Fengxiang Prefecture. In the second year of Zhide, about three hundred years after Zhao Jin, Emperor Suzong of Tang escaped to Fengxiang. In the same year, Chang'an and Luoyang were recovered and believed that Fengxiang's land was good. It was helpful to him. So he changed his name to Fengxiang Prefecture and upgraded to the capital, which was at the same level as Taiyuan Prefecture and Luoyang Prefecture and other major cities.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, it followed the old system of the Tang Dynasty. Although Fengxiang Mansion was no longer a subordinate capital, its political status was still very high. In modern terms, Fengxiang Mansion was a sub-provincial city.
There are nine counties and one supervisor in the jurisdiction, with a large population and a wealthy place.
Although Fengxiang Mansion was also affected by the war, Zhao Qin did not feel the urgency brought by too much war when he entered Fengxiang Mansion.
Although he was not interested in his deputy Yin Zhu, Zhao Jin also understood that Yin Zhu's contribution must be indispensable. As he went deeper into Fengxiang Mansion, he could see some men dressed in nomadic peoples appear from time to time. They either carried animal skins on foot or pulled dozens of northwest grassland horses in groups.
Entering the territory of Tianxing County, Fengxiang Prefecture's capital, a Beiwei Army surveillance came quickly and whipped the horse. He stepped on the horse's reins and clasped his fists on the horse's back and reported: "Your Majesty, Yin Jingluo led the way ahead to the civil and military officials of Fengxiang Prefecture, specially welcomed the prince's carriage!"
Zhao Qian sneered and said to the people around him: "Yin Shilu is good at being a human being. He did not welcome me when I entered Fengxiang Mansion, but here in Tianxing County. He not only had a superficial position but also made sufficient etiquette!"
"Prince, this guy is so hateful, why bother paying attention to him? He rushed straight and entered Tianxing County in front of him. See what this guy has to do!" Zhao Yingwu said angrily.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" As soon as Zhao Yingwu finished speaking, Mei Yaochen had already spoken to obstruct him.
Zhao Yingwu immediately glared at Mei Yaochen and said, "Are you a scholar familiar with Yin Zhu? How could you say good things to him?"
Mei Yaochen felt embarrassed when he heard this, and it was really hard to answer this question.
At this time, Du Xiansheng also expressed his objection. "Commander Zhao, are you too arrogant? What you said just now is easy, but that is just a voluntary act, just a brave man!"
Zhao Yingwu said unhappily: "Why do you guys say that? Could it be that Yin Zhu can't play with the prince? Yin Zhu has done good things and bad things. The prince can't even say anything about him. Wouldn't he feel unhappy when he sees him?"
Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes and did not express his opinion, waiting for his staff to speak.
Yang Qing said weakly: "Idiot, you know that Yin Zhu has played the prince in this regard. Then you also know that he is not a fool. This time he brought the officials from Fengxiang Mansion to welcome the prince. Regardless of whether these officials are in the same mind as Yin Zhu, but if the prince doesn't go to see them, it will push all these officials to Yin Zhu. At that time, Yin Zhu was not very unhappy, but that he could not be described in words!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yingwu's face turned red. Only then did he realize that he had not come up with a good idea, but a bad idea that could not be bad early. "The prince... I am not considerate well, please punish me!"
Zhao Qian waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "You are also thinking about this, so why should you punish me? But sirs, what do you mean is that I will go like this?"
"Why are you afraid of Yin Zhu when you are there with the demeanor of the prince?" Yang Qing immediately flattered, but the voice was weak, which immediately gave the flattery a discount. But it was no wonder that Yang Qing, who was running around all the way, but tossed his butt and thighs very hard.
"In fact, this is also a good opportunity to spy on Yin Zhu's influence in Qinfeng Road!" Du Xiansheng looked at the problem from a different perspective and said calmly.
