Chapter 79 Are you Han Lushan or Han Siming?
In Yonghe Town, Xiangzhou, in an abandoned temple where Prince Yun Zhao Kai temporarily settled, a few cups of tea were wafting with a graceful and changing fragrance.
Zhao Kai rarely changed into a wide Moon-white Confucian uniform, sitting leisurely on a chain, and was sitting leisurely with Lu Yihao, Cai Mao, Chen Ji, and a man in his fifties, but had a baby face and a pair of big eyes and long beards. He drank tea and talked, greeted, and laughed. It was so leisurely.
This man in his fifties who looks a little "cute" is the local snake in Xiangzhou, the leader of the Han family in Xiangzhou, and the current governor of Xiangzhou.
Zhao Kai is very familiar with Han Xiaozhou. In his memory in this life, he has known this "baby-faced uncle" since he was a child. However, what left the deepest impression on Zhao Kai now was not "Uncle Han's baby face". Instead, the original Zhao Kai would receive a secret report on the Han family in Xiangzhou every once in a while after taking over the position of the Imperial City Department of Zhao Kai!
Almost the Han family in Shishouxiangzhou is under the strict surveillance of the Imperial City Department!
Moreover, the operation to monitor the Han family in Xiangzhou was not carried out under the order of Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji's father, Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, asked Han Qi to serve as the "Supervisor of Xiangzhou" for the second time... This is not how disgusted Song Shenzong was deeply disgusted with the "two dynasties and decisive masters" who supported the old party, but that he had decided at that time to make the Han family in Xiangzhou "mastered Xiangzhou for the world."
The Han family was originally a wealthy family in Xiangzhou, and they were treated as the courtesy of the guardian Xiangzhou for generations. With the eyes of the Song Dynasty, of course, they should be careful to avoid "Han Lushan" and "Han Siming".
However, the Han family in Xiangzhou has always been relatively regular. In addition to taking advantage of the vast land in Xiangzhou, they also built the Zhoujintang, one of the four major gardens in the Song Dynasty, in Anyang City, they also set up some Confucian academies with low levels, and they seemed to have never done anything else...
In the eyes of the "real Zhao Kai" earlier, the Han family in Xiangzhou was simply a reassuring model and powerful man. But in the eyes of this "school Zhao Kai" now, the Han family had never done anything in Xiangzhou that was conducive to the anti-Jin period, so the meaning of "sealing" Xiangzhou to the Han family was close to zero.
Looking at Han Xiaozhou's baby face, Zhao Kaixin said: If the Han family cannot help me get the matter of Xiangzhou procuratorate this time... Then your "Share Million Stone" will come to an end.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai coughed, ended the greeting scene, and began to talk about serious matters. He saw Zhao Kai with a serious look on his face: "Han Xiangzhou, as is the situation today, everyone understands that the peaceful and prosperous times are gone, and they are replaced by the chaotic times of the Warring States Period!"
What? This is the chaotic times of the Warring States Period?
Those who accompanied Zhao Kai to drink tea in this room frowned - how is that possible? It was just a group of Jin thieves who wanted to blackmail millions of monies and perhaps wanted to seize some land in the Song Dynasty. They were not a confidant at all. How could there be a chaotic war in the Warring States Period?
"King," Han Xiaozhou whispered, "Now the Jin thieves have been in the Kaifeng Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture city for a while... It has been a long time since they can't capture it for a long time, and it seems that it is the end of their strength. Moreover, the kings and soldiers from all over the country have gathered around Kaifeng Prefecture. If the king can lead the Hebei volunteers south of the Yellow River in Kaifeng in time and join the army to attack the Jin thieves outside Kaifeng, perhaps within ten months, the world can return to peace."
Zhao Kai smiled faintly, then turned his eyes to his chief minister Lu Yihao and Sima Chen Ji, "Lu Changshi, Sima Chen, do you think there will be peace in the world within ten months?"
"No!" Lu Yihao's answer was very straightforward, "When I was in Yanshan Prefecture, I was trapped in the enemy. After many days in the Jin camp, I saw with my own eyes that the strength of the Jin bandits was far better than the imperial guards of this dynasty, let alone the Yishi. Now the number of Jin bandits who entered Kaifeng Prefecture is 50,000 to 100,000, and the number of Jin bandits who besieged Taiyuan is no less than this. There are Jin bandit soldiers around Yanshan Prefecture Road. The number of Jin bandits should be around 200,000. How many imperial guards are there in Hebei, Hedong, Jingmin, Jingxi, Jingdong and other places? I'm afraid it's less than 200,000? When Tong Taishi led 200,000 elite troops to attack Yan, he was still killed by tens of thousands of exhausted troops of Liao Kingdom. Now the 200,000 Jin bandits are dozens of times better than tens of thousands of Liao divisions. How could it be destroyed by the imperial guards of this dynasty who were less than 200,000?"
"Can you negotiate peace?" Han Xiaozhou said, "The Jin thieves may have come for wealth, money, and money. I heard that the Jin thieves also meant to negotiate peace... I have money in the Song Dynasty, so can't I give them some?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "Recently, the Marshal's Mansion received a report from Hedong Army. Although the Jin thieves' Western Route Army did not break the Taiyuan Prefecture City, it broke through many prefectures and counties around Taiyuan. It was obviously trying to swallow the land of Hedong! If the Jin thieves really have the sincerity to negotiate peace, how could they take time and effort to attack Hedong prefectures and counties without hesitation? It can be seen that the Jin thieves' peace talks are completely fake and are deceiving us!"
Why are the Jin thieves deceiving us? Han Xiaozhou said in his heart: It was Prince Yun who used peace talks to deceive the Jin thieves. He took advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack and killed the Jin thieves's Privy Guard, and killed the three-name slave Guo Yaoshi, and scared away the Jin thieves' soldiers and horses from Linzhang... After he made such a fuss, the Jin thieves might not agree to negotiate peace with our Song Dynasty!
Zhao Kai glanced at Cai Mao, the transferor, and Cai Mao immediately spoke, "Like a husband (Xiao Zhou), in fact, our dynasty's wealth is limited and its expenditure is huge. Since its establishment, the country has been very nervous and cannot pay much money to the Jinzhe! The price offered by the Jinzhe is to give 30 million yuan in wealth at a time, and another 3 million yuan a year, the court may not be able to bring so much money."
That's not that the government is too good at spending... Han Xiaozhou began to complain about Zhao Kai's father again! This official family is very popular and has spent money like a flood, and has almost squandered the national treasury. Now I'm afraid that I can't even take out the annual monies that beg for mercy from the Jin thieves. It's really a disaster for the country and the people!
It seems that the treacherous minister Zhang Dun has a good view of others - King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world!
Compared with his son Prince Yun, the frivolous official is not on the same level! No matter how frivolous the official official is, he will not go to the battle formation to fight with the Jin thieves... and destroy all the hopeful peace!
When Han Xiaozhou thought of this, he had to sigh and nodded, "It seems that this peace of mind is difficult for a while... But if you really want to fight the Jin thieves to the end, you are afraid of spending more money? How much can the imperial court earn in a year? How much fixed expenses can it be? Even if you save a little, how much can it be surplus? How many imperial guards can you raise with this little money? Even the 200,000 troops arranged by the Jin thieves in Hedong, Yanshan, Hebei, Jingji and other places can still be as good as the millions of imperial guards in our Song Dynasty? But how can our Song Dynasty afford to support millions of imperial guards?"
"How could I not be able to support it?" Zhao Kai smiled coldly, "How much land does it take to raise a Western Army archer?"
"It takes 200-250 acres," Cai Mao replied, "There are fewer archers in Hedong who give land, only about 100 acres."
"That is, the Western Army shall prevail, and 1 million troops will be raised, how much land is needed?"
Chen Ji said: "In terms of 200 mu, 200 million mu of land is needed."
Zhao Kai turned his head and looked at Han Xiaozhou, "Prince Han, do you know how many acres of land are under the world?"
Han Xiaozhou thought for a while and said, "It's about 500 million or 600 million."
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Okay, it can raise 3 million soldiers! With this number, why worry about the immortality of the golden thief?"
"King," Han Xiaozhou knew that Zhao Kai was wrong and quickly reminded, "Most of the 500 million mu of land in the world have masters, and the proportion of official land is not large. How can we deal with the soldiers all the way?"
"The governor of Han is a poor man!" Zhao Kai said loudly, "All under the world is the king's land, and the shores of the earth are the king's ministers... Those who are king's ministers will certainly be responsible for marching with swords and spears!"
Han Xiaozhou opened his mouth wide, so shocked that he couldn't even say a word, but just stared at Zhao Kai blankly.
"Besides, there are so many abandoned places in the world!" Zhao Kai said again, "I was alone in the eastern part of Xiangzhou and saw many deserted fields... Since his lord cannot defend his territory, what's wrong with me allocating it to soldiers who are willing to defend his territory?"
What? Han Xiaozhou was shocked. Many of the lands in the east of Xiangzhou belong to my family! What do you want to do?
Zhao Kai looked at Han Xiaozhou, "Premier Han, the Gu Wang is now ordering you to inspect the four counties of Linzhang, Tangyin, Anyang and Linlu. All the desolate and unowned land will be owned by the Grand Marshal's Mansion and Tiansi!"
Han Xiaozhou's face turned pale and said to himself: You Prince Yun, you are a robber king... I have only been to Xiangzhou for a few days and I will rob my land, and I will help you rob it!
It's really outrageous!
Zhao Kaize looked at Han Xiaozhou fiercely, as if he said again: You might as well be the opposite! You can try to be Han Lushan and Han Siming! In this way, the Lone King can confiscate all your property!
