Chapter 105 The dishes are getting cold
Just as everyone was chattering about the status of craftsmen nowadays were even higher than that of literati.
"The food is going to be cold!" Lao Jia finally spoke, and became more and more silent in public. This was the first sentence he said at this royal celebration banquet.
Everyone was silent!
Who is Lao Jia? No matter how proud everyone is to criticize him, he is always the first courtier.
The other people's surnames and queens are just a kind of honorific title, and they have emerged in recent years. The scholars and officials who have been harmed by the old Jia Gongtian Law think that this can hit Jia Sidao's arrogance.
In this way, "Jia Xiang" is not the only one, so that he can be isolated. Not to mention that it really plays a role, he expressed his opinions at the meeting less and less.
"Oh, my mother and I stumbled and put aside the time for everyone to have dinner. Huo, let's start a banquet!" Empress Dowager Xie made the decision for Zhao Huo again.
The emperor was helpless. He was so old and was treated like a child. He waved his hand helplessly and shouted, "Let's start a banquet!"
The chief magistrate followed and said, "There are so many people coming to this banquet, at least there must be more than 200 tables."
He was so hungry that he immediately feasted on his stomach, tore off the roasted suckling pig, and ate it in big mouthfuls, without affecting his appetite because of what happened just now.
Wen Tianxiang next to him looked sad. He had treated Song Chen as his nephew and asked him to go to Xiangyang. Everyone in the court knew that it was just not to point it out. It was a place where there was no life.
Even with this victory, even if there is No. 1, it may be difficult to change the situation of the battle from the overall situation. Now the Imperial City Department has obtained exact information. The three thousand small, five hundred medium-sized and five hundred large warships in Mongolia are about to be launched.
Think about it, the Han River would undoubtedly be sealed, and then Xiangyang would become a real lonely city, and now that place would become a dead place.
Seeing this boy so optimistic, he was a little jealous.
Song Chen knew the situation of the war more than anyone in the world. Xiangyang was a dead place, and he was not very disgusted with his enemy's proposal. That place was the place where his "little butterfly with wings" had to go.
Xiangfan was lost and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed.
This place is too important and there must be no mistakes. If it is lost, even as a time traveler, he may be unable to turn things around.
He must take on this hot potato with a tough bullet.
In fact, he originally planned to volunteer, but it was too high-profile and fake, and it was very likely that it would cause trouble.
This time, Liu Mengyan and the others took the initiative to jump out and threw the hot potato at him, which was actually just right for him.
"Young prison, don't push me anymore. I just want to go there!" Song Chen said carefully. After all, it was a public place, so I couldn't call him back.
"What, Song Chen, are you crazy?" Wen Tianxiang never linked the slick Song Chen with Zhongjun and Patriotic, so he thought he was crazy.
"They all make sense. The Yin Wolf has penetrated into all the key points of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible to do a secret transportation No. 1. If every transportation requires such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and sacrifice so many people, I will be too unwilling to go." Song Chen showed a serious expression, which was rare for him.
"Continue!" Wen Tianxiang opened his eyes wide as if he had known Song Chen for the first time.
"The best and only way to solve the transportation problem is to move the weapons workshop to Xiangyang, and organize a large mobilization to transport a large number of people, grain and materials in while Mongolia has not completely blocked the Han River." Song Chen knew that doing such a mobilization would require risks and great responsibility, and Lao Jia might be old and timid.
In history, this great rescue did not exist. Later, it was only after Yuan Meng completely took the initiative that a great rescue was organized. It was too late.
"Stop talking, Jia Sidao always shirks his power, saying that the materials and silver lines of the Song Dynasty are in short supply, and they cannot be mobilized in a short time!" Wen Tianxiang said with great emotion.
Is Jia Sidao a treacherous minister? Song Chen, who has no disgust for him, really cannot give a negative answer. This old Jia also likes to fight in the village. This is an example of forcing the fierce general Xiang Shibi to death a few years ago.
But if it is said that he would deliberately not go to rescue Xiangyang, there is definitely no such thing. Historical records record that he deliberately concealed the fact that Xiangfan was surrounded, which is false.
Only the head of the country knows that the price of firewood and rice is expensive, and what he said is the truth.
Before the Song Dynasty's army set out, it was impossible to move without giving soldiers five months of salary sound in advance. It was a fact that if you had no money, you could not command the army. This dynasty gave civilians too many "privileges", Song Chen sighed.
But because of this, Song Chen likes the Song Dynasty so much.
"Can those ten ships, one thousand No. 1, one hundred thousand bullets, one thousand five hundred people, and one thousand kilograms of grain be prepared?" Song Chen really made up his mind this time and if he wanted to do it, he would do it thoroughly.
"You are talking about a thirty-foot boat. I can guarantee this number of five more ships!" Although Wen Tianxiang was not willing to let Song Chen take risks, he knew that this kid had many tricks. Maybe he would really open up the situation when he arrived in Xiangyang.
Five more ships mean that more supplies can be transported, so the plan in his mind will be even more certain.
"Okay, okay, okay, you are so good!" Wen Tianxiang patted Song Chen's shoulders, which was a very high praise for a junior.
"I have a thought in my heart for a long time. Now I have made a plan, hoping to put it into practice before I leave!" Song Chen handed over the 'plan' he had already written, which was a thick stack.
"You kid must have conditions for everything you do," How could Wen Tianxiang not even hear Song Chen's implication? He could ask him to go to Xiangyang, so he agreed to his plan first.
Originally, Tianxiang thought it was a very small request, and there was something to agree with, but the result was-
"What? Your plan requires requisition of 20,000 acres of land, with a construction period of five years. The recruitment of craftsmen will cost 3,000, and the subsequent investment will reach 20,000, with a total investment of 20 million yuan!"
Even though Wen Tianxiang had seen various big scenes, he was scared by Song Chen's "big moves" and almost jumped up. His voice became louder, which would always attract the attention of others.
"What, what kind of ghost idea did this young man come up with!" He first attracted the attention of the old minister Jiang Wanli at the table. He immediately followed him, looking full of curiosity.
