Chapter 156: Great Song Changan, if there are soldiers or money, Luo Luo will continue to work hard!)

Stay in history forever...

When Zong Ze heard this, he felt that he was about to become loyal and fierce!

But as he said himself, he is over 60 years old and is not afraid of death... How could he let go of this opportunity to gain fame behind him?

If he doesn't go, he will be a prefect who will be sent to the power for the rest of his life. If he goes to have a chance, he may be a chief official and a famous minister of the generation!

Thinking of this, Zong Ze had already made up his mind. But he would not let it go easily. He had to know what Zhao Kai could do to achieve great things.

"The official family, Lao Zhuo, was ordered by the general system of money, and the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the government... The two of them will stay in Jingzhao Mansion to prepare palaces and imperial objects for Your Majesty." Zong Ze said, "So the place where Guanlong is used has been decided!

I wonder when Your Majesty can personally recommend the brave and brave men in Guanlong and go out of Hangu in the east to fight for the Central Plains?"

He was going to Kaifeng Prefecture to sing an empty city plan, so he had to look forward to Zhao Kai and Guanlong soldiers coming day and night!

So I have to ask clearly!

Zhao Kai sighed and said with some embarrassment: "There are soldiers in Guanlong, but no money... Although I can set up a military palace in Guanlong and divide the land to support the heroes, I have to advance east to fight for the Central Plains. The thin fields in Guanzhong are still insufficient. There are few fields and many soldiers, which is not enough to be distributed! Moreover, the thin fields in Guanlong are too small, and the output is too small."

There are about 40 million mu of "thin fields" on Shaanxi 6th Road, of which the land along the border of the fifth Road was either distributed to Yingtian archers or occupied by Yingwu family. A small part of the land on the Guanzhong Plain also belongs to Yingwu family.

These camp families and camp archers were all the targets Zhao Kai wanted to win over and use... Therefore, it is impossible to harvest much land when clearing the land inspection in Shaanxi. At most, the camp families and camp archers in Shaanxi were all organized into the military palace and made them soldiers.

Considering that the number of soldiers in Shaanxi's prefectures is likely to exceed 200,000... Just by promoting land grants, land embroidery (tax exemption), tax exemption (double money, etc.), and exemption from service (no family service), it is possible to cover most of Shaanxi's land and a considerable part of the population!

In this way, there will be fewer land taxes, exemption of labor, and other things in Shaanxi. However, Shaanxi's business is not developed. Except for the salt taxes, which are more common (Xiechi Yantian now belongs to Shaanxi), the rest are very limited, so the total amount of commercial taxes will not be large.

Therefore, Shaanxi is a "blood tax place" for Zhao Kai, and he can obtain a large amount of military resources, but he cannot obtain much income.

The system of government troops currently implemented by Zhao Kai cannot "fund no money to support troops"... because he does not have enough land to divide. The archers in the camp in Shaanxi have already divided the land, and after becoming government troops, they have been divided into land.

However, Zhao Kai cannot regard the land owned by the Yingwu family, whether it is hidden land or private land. For these people, Zhao Kai can only "owe the land", owes it first, and then grab it before making up for it...

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Zhao Kai's military system can only save money and support soldiers. For example, if you don't pay money, you will pay half of the salary when you go to the market.

At the same time, a recruitment system similar to "reserve" can be established - if we can count the land, Yingwu family and Yingtian archers in Shaanxi Sixth Route, about 200,000 households can be incorporated into the military palace.

With the nearly 100,000 people currently in Zhao Kai’s hand, the theoretical maximum of troops can reach 300,000!

This amount is far beyond the level that Zhao Kai's court can support. It is not enough to have to pay for money for a long time. Not to mention half of the salary, one-third of it can't be paid!

Therefore, Zhao Kai can only maintain a standing army of tens of thousands of people (a considerable number of soldiers who are granted fields in Hedong. Currently, he is only nominally granted fields, and in fact he cannot take over the land. It is hard to say whether he can receive rent, so he can only be a standing army). The rest can only be trained in the military government during the slack season (not counting the previous one)... If you want to make a big use, you still have to make money!

Zong Ze stroked his beard and thoughtfully said: "The official family has now obtained Shaanxi, and there is enough soldiers. If there is enough money, a army of 200,000 to 300,000 troops can be summoned, right? It's just this money..."

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zongqing, I have a solution!

It is better to have soldiers but no money than to have money! In troubled times, soldiers are fate. If there are soldiers, there is a way, and if there are no soldiers, there is no way!"

The gun is a knife, and the power is out of power!

Zhao Kai paused and said, "Give me two or three years to get money. In another two or three years to train and select generals... At most, I can go east to compete for the Central Plains!"

Of course, his solution is to grab the territory with money but no soldiers! Otherwise, what else can he do? No one can afford to stay in Shaanxi!

Zhao Kai's military system was only built on part of the territory and could not be spread across the country, otherwise there would be no money for raising soldiers, training, equipment and use of soldiers.

Moreover, there were not many areas in the Song Dynasty that had military traditions, including the Five Border Roads along the border, Hedong, and some areas of Hebei in Shaanxi.

The highest level of snatching territory is to take it without fighting.

Otherwise, these territories will be washed again and again by the soldiers, and I don’t know when I will recover my vitality.

Zong Ze already understood Zhao Kai’s idea and nodded, "Okay, I’ll try it out. At worst, I’ll be the loyal and martyr of the Song Dynasty!"

When Zhao Kai heard this, he stood up immediately and bowed to Zong Ze opposite him. Zong Ze did not expect Zhao Kai to do this, so he didn't react at all. However, Zhao Kai had already spoken solemnly: "Mr. Zong must take care of himself when he goes to Kaifeng Prefecture... If there is any danger, you should not force it.

The old man can take advantage of the time when the Yellow River freezes in winter, so that it will be difficult for the golden thieves to flood the city.

In just a few months, I can have all the lands of Bashu and Jingxiang. When the spring begins, the old man will withdraw from Kaifeng Prefecture and make an extraordinary contribution!”

Zong Ze stood up, bowed to Zhao Kai, and smiled and said, "There is an official family like Your Majesty in the Song Dynasty, which is worthy of my life to devote my life to you and die!"

......

"I welcome the officials. The palaces and all the imperial objects in Jingzhao Prefecture City are ready, but I ask the officials to take over! But I have the orders, and I will follow them!"

Outside Xuanwu Gate north of Jingzhao Prefecture City, a large number of civil and military officials in Jingzhao Prefecture City stood in squads and welcomed Zhao Kai, an official from the Song Dynasty who rode his horse under the escort of tens of thousands of white-clothed soldiers (white clothes were filial piety clothes).

Because Zhao Kai's army brought filial piety to war, the officials from Jingzhao Mansion, who went out of the city to welcome him, also wore filial piety clothes, which looked white from a distance.

After fighting against the hot summer and early autumn for more than a month, Zhao Kai became dark and thin, but his beard was carefully trimmed by Guo Tiannu, which looked much more refreshing. Moreover, his whole body was also in good spirits. Looking at the north gate of Jingzhao Prefecture in the distance, he seemed extremely excited.

"You are exempt from gifts... Qian Longtu (Qian Gai is waiting for the Longtu Pavilion), Fan Zheng Envoy, Wang Tong, I really didn't expect to see you in Jingzhao Mansion!"

Zhao Kai was not the king who stayed in the palace for free, but the king who led the important position of the Imperial City Office, so his head was very familiar with Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu. So he was very familiar with him. So no one needed to introduce him, so Zhao Kai smiled and greeted them.

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu all don’t know Zhao Kai anymore... How long hasn’t seen him? This king, no, he is now an official! He really looks like a different person!

Not only does his appearance change greatly, but his behavior and expression are different!

Zhao Kai flipped off the horse's back and smiled and called the three of them to come forward and talk.

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu all got together, but they didn't dare to get too close. They stood in a row outside Zhao Kai's three steps, with Qian Gai in the middle, Fan Zhixu and Wang Shu, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhao Kai asked the three people with a smile: "Do you have any contact with Yingtian?"

Qian Gai said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I have received an edict issued in the name of the prince before... But when the edict was issued, the fake prince was no longer in Yingtian, but in Xuzhou."

"Go to Xuzhou?" Zhao Kai had a smile on his face when he heard the news, "When did this edict be issued?"

“Early June.”

"Oh." Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, now they should have arrived in Jiangnan!"

What Zhao Kai was most worried about was that his brother Zhao Huan and a bunch of brothers and sisters stayed in Yingtian Mansion and refused to run away. Finally, he was caught and eaten by someone to Heilongjiang for snow.

Of course, it would be troublesome if Zhao Huan could persist in the Central Plains. It would really be a civil war between the East and the Song dynasties!

So it would be better for Zhao Huan to run away to Jiangnan.

When Wang Shu saw Zhao Kai's face showing joy and was worried that he would send troops to the southeast, he dared to remind him: "Your Majesty... You and Xuzhou are brothers after all, and now you should work together to avenge the late emperor and talk about anything else."

Zhao Kai waved his hand and said, "Of course I won't fight with my brother... But he doesn't need to take revenge. He is just a useless person, just enjoy the happiness in the southeast.

I want to grant him the title of King of Wu, to sever the East Road of Jiangnan to him, and to make him the king for the rest of his life, would that be good?"

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, and Wang Shu couldn't believe their ears... What does this official mean?

"Your Majesty, who do you want to confer?" Wang Shu asked.

"I am granted Zhao Huan!" Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I reopened the Song Dynasty, and he is the eldest son of the late emperor after all, and my brother... can't I be granted a king?"

"able......"

"Of course, it can..."

"Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent and righteous king!"

The three of them praised it nicely, but they felt like a mirror in their hearts.

Zhao Kai couldn't reach his brother, so he had to use this method!

Zhao Kai looked at the three of them and smiled and said, "Who can go to Luoyang and Xingyang to tell Yuwen Xuzhong and Yao Gu what I mean, and ask them to send someone to tell Zhao Huan... I must be the emperor because he cannot, and the last emperor's will also be the emperor. However, I will never pursue his fault of proclaiming emperor without authorization. As long as he is willing to go to the imperial title, I can make him king in the southeast!"
