Chapter 1,799 Crisis

Gao Yongchang had a lot of cavalry, and he sent his troops to conquer the territory. In ten days, they had reached more than 20 states north of the Liao River and occupied nearly half of Tokyo Road.

Fortunately, he could not confine his troops, and he often killed and looted. Therefore, in the prefectures and counties where he was located, families often took their families across the Liao River to avoid him. Gao Yongchang had already lost the hearts of the people in Liaodong.

Wang Jing had money and food, so he quickly ordered Zhang Lin and Qingcheng to recruit the largest number of unemployed people in Liaodong, evict their households, and recruit strong men as refugees, and confiscated 50,000 soldiers.

But it's still a drop in the bucket, because Tokyo Road not only has to beware of Gao Yongchang, but also Aguda, and most importantly, the emperor's uncle and the King of Wei!

Jinzhou Tongjin Bank is Wang Jing's money bag, and it is also the choke point of Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road. The army of King Wei's East Road is fierce. Now it has arrived in Laizhou, and it is written by Wang Jing, and it is said that he wants to surrender.

It should be noted that His Majesty has not yet been found, and King Wei’s determination to be self-reliant has become clear!

The Zhongjing Road was looted by the Tatars earlier than the Upper Jing Road. Apart from the Tatars, King Wei was not a good bird either. Half of the crimes of looting were committed by his troops!

The remaining Nanjing Road was the territory of the King of Wei, and the Xijing Road was the territory of the Emperor Taishu.

A good Daliao, just like that, snap, gone!

well……

Regardless of the weak military strength of the southern states, there is a large water conservancy project in Liaoyang, a Posoling Iron Works, and three municipal shipping companies in Suzhou, Yaozhou, and Jinzhou. In the eyes of the Liao people, they are like golden nests.

Whether fighting a war or countering a rebellion, what is needed is nothing more than money, food, weapons and people. Tokyo Road is not short of these three things, but it is short of time.

Therefore, envoys and lobbyists from all walks of life are now coming in droves, all hoping to persuade Wang Jing to join him.

Among them are those of King Wei, those of Xiao Fengxian, those of Wang Shiru, and those of Queen Yuanfei...

There are even straight women, Bohai people, and even Goryeo. What the hell? Wang Yong, a slave from his hometown, doesn’t know how high the sky is!

Thinking of this, Wang Jing suddenly realized a problem, Da Song, why is there no Da Song that I want most?!

"Ma San! Ma San!"

Ma San came in from outside the house: "Master Prime Minister, what are your orders?"

Wang Jing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and thought about how to word it: "Uh... this..."

Ma San was very self-conscious: "Does the Prime Minister want me to contact Forty-three Jiedu?"

"Ouch!" Wang Jing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at Ma San's frankness, but then he had an excuse: "Jinzhou is about to be captured by the King of Wei, and Tongjin Bank may not be able to be saved. I'm not afraid of the Forty-Three Festivals."

Because of this stupid thing in Daliao, we have suffered losses!"

"Well, and... I heard that you have arranged a sea ship in Jinzhou? What I mean is... can you move to Yaozhou or Ningzhou and wait? I want to move my family to the sea first..."

Ma San couldn't help but laugh: "Is the Prime Minister worrying too much? No matter how domineering the King of Wei is, he is still a minister after all; the rebels in Tokyo Road are just Gao Yongchang, what can they do?"

"How about you become my prime minister?" Because of their strange relationship, the two of them have now become friends who talk about everything. So when Wang Jing got upset, he spoke fluently: "If I ask you to contact me, hurry up. If I delay any longer,

Ten days, I’m afraid there will be a big disaster!”

Ma San smiled and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Jiedu is in the city, but I heard that there is a huge fortune that will be raised for the Prime Minister recently, so please wait a few days to see me."

"Oh, this is so urgent..." Wang Jing stamped his feet anxiously, and then suddenly realized: "Wait... you said he is in the city?"

"Yes, it's in the city." Ma San nodded: "If the prime minister wants to see you, I can call him right away."

"Then hurry up and invite him over...forget it, you immediately take me to visit him in person!"

Soon, Wang Jing, who had changed into casual clothes, was protected by several escorts dressed as escorts. He was led by Ma San and drove an ordinary Xi car. He went around in circles and came to a luxurious place. At the back entrance of the mansion.

Wang Jing got out of the car and looked at the front door and the entrance of the alley. He felt that it was very familiar: "Here..."

Ma San smiled and said: "It's not anywhere else, it's Chen Caoshuai's mansion on Chehang Street."

"Chen Wuji? Tokyo Salt and Iron Envoy Chen Wuji?"

"Yes, that's him." Ma San nodded in affirmation.

The two families were actually not far from each other, and Wang Jing couldn't help but get angry: "Then why did you lead me around so far?!"

Ma San said: "This is an industry rule. You have to be careful of spies following you."

Wang Jing wanted to scold his mother, but in the end it turned into a sigh: "Chen Caoshuai is known for his ability. He lifted the salt and iron on Xiao Tuohui's behalf. It was my recommendation. I didn't expect that he would also join the Song Dynasty..."

Wait, why am I saying this? No, no, I am loyal to Daliao. Well, this also refers to Ma San, yes, it refers to Ma San!

Ma San didn't pay attention to these small words and went up to knock on the copper ring on the back door.

Soon the door opened, and it was a boy. When he saw it was Ma San, he didn't say much and let them in directly.

Entering through the back door is the kitchen, and going around is the garden of the Salt and Iron Ambassador's residence. Zhao Zhongqian is sitting under the grape trellis, reading letters, dressed neatly, and looks like he is going out soon.

Chen Wuji happened to walk out of the room, as if he had just finished packing: "Jiedu, let's go now."

Zhao Zhongqian had already seen Wang Jing here. He couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and laughed. As he stood up, he said to Chen Wuji: "I just said that I deserve this wealth. Brother Zhongping, you still don't believe that this is God's will?!"

When Chen Wuji saw Wang Jing, he hurried over to greet him: "Why is your husband here? Isn't it foretelling the future?"

Wang Jing listened confused: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Wuji said: "Jiedu and I were about to visit the house, but unexpectedly, Ming Gong had already arrived first, or as Jiedu said, there is God's will in the dark..."

"Visit me? What's the matter?"

Chen Wuji said: "Since my husband is here, we don't need to run errands. Let's go to the hall to talk in detail."

After several people entered the hall and sat down, Wang Jingcai said: "I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Zhao Zhongqian smiled and said: "Why don't you tell me first, why are you and Ma San coming to look for me?"

Wang Jing glanced at Chen Wuji, a little embarrassed to say: "This one, over there in Jinzhou... Now it seems that it will be taken over by the King of Wei soon, that one over there, Tongjin Bank..."

Chen Wuji anxiously handed over his hands: "Ming Gong, all your talents in the world can only be put into use through Tongjin Bank. In the past few years, you have raised bonds, stabilized the silk currency, promoted trade, built iron plants, supported industry, commerce, and water conservancy, and everything has been done. Is it related to the bank?”

"Tongjin Bank is related to the foundation of the states in the South Road. What kind of economics does King Wei know? Once it falls into his hands, the states in the South Road will be doomed!"

Huh? Wang Jing is a little confused. Chen Wuji and Shisan Jiedu are together. He is obviously a traitor, but his current tone and eager demeanor that does not seem to be hypocritical, how come he looks like a loyal minister of the Liao Kingdom?

Zhao Zhongqian seemed to understand Wang Jing's confusion and said with a smile: "My husband should know the words I often talk about, common interests."

"There are common interests between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, or to be more precise, between parts of the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty."

"Therefore, on this basis, some areas and people in the Liao Kingdom can cooperate closely with the Song Dynasty."

"I'm actually not worried about Tongjin Bank. It's just an institution. There isn't much money in it now. It's mainly account books. It's just a matter of a ship to take it to Zhangzi Island."

"But Jinzhou is still an important throat between the two roads..."

"Yes, my husband is a man who understands. Under the current situation, how to preserve the foundation of Tokyo Road is the fundamental issue."

"Let Tokyo Road be the same as before. I think this is the choice that the vast majority of people in Liao Kingdom... No, it is the choice that the vast majority of people in Tokyo Road want most. Right?"

Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Why did Jiedu say this so easily like Ma San? Now the King of Wei is aggressive in the southwest, the imperial court is issuing edicts three times a day in the northwest, Nüzhi is eyeing the northeast, and there are Gao Gao in Tokyo Road.

Yongchang is rampant and wreaking havoc."

"Jiedu, Tokyo Road has been responsible for national taxes and military supplies over the years. It has a debt of nearly 4 million yuan. The troops in the road are stretched thin. Liaoyang is about to have a great harvest. Refugees from twenty states on the north bank of the Liaohe River are about to swarm in. Many powerful people are looking at it.

, all gathered here.”

"Ah, there is also the iron factory. There is also an undercurrent of crisis in the iron factory. The people of Bohai are bewitched by high-ranking thieves and are ready to take action. This is a time when our survival is in danger!"
