Guizhou.

Guangxi Economic and Strategy Department.

Miao Shizhong looked at Nong Kexiang, who was kneeling in front of him and claimed to be the son of Nong Zhihui, the magistrate of Guihua Prefecture.

He sighed and asked someone to help Nong Kexian up.

"This strategy has sent envoys to order Jiaozhi to withdraw its troops, and Jiaozhi agreed..."

"You should be satisfied now!"

But that person was nothing like the Nong family he knew. He always had a submissive attitude and accepted everything he did.

Instead, he stubbornly ignored the dissuasion of others and knelt down to kowtow: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jinglue, thousands of people were robbed of my Guihua Prefecture!"

"I also hope that Mr. Jinglue will make the decision for the people of the state where I will be naturalized!"

"Shimin?" Miao Shizhong chewed on the word and laughed in his heart.

Where did the scholars from Guihua Prefecture come from?

Where did the people come from?

They didn't even pay any money!

Local officials are appointed by the leaders of each Dong group.

The Guangxi Economic and Strategy Department has never done any population counting.

It's just Jisi Prefecture, and it's still a desolate, poor, and unproductive Jisi Prefecture.

but……

Seeing the Nong family who were obviously relying on him, Miao Shizhong couldn't say anything harsh.

Nong Zhihui and his son were directly revived by Bianjing's imperial edict.

Who knows if the Nong family has a backer in Bianjing City?

Therefore, Miao Shizhong could only say: "This book has its own arrangements!"

"I will send an envoy to Jiaozhi and order them to return the captives!"

Nong Kexiang refused to give in, and kowtowed as usual: "My husband, Mr. Jinglue, is responsible for guarding the territory of the imperial court. Is this how he treats the bandits who invade the territory of the Song Dynasty?"

If it had happened in the past, Miao Shizhong would have ordered this ignorant native to be beaten to justice.

But now...

They are obviously confident!

Miao Shizhong could only bite the bullet and said: "Without the order from the imperial court, I have no right to mobilize troops..."

As he said this, Miao Shizhong was also a little irritable.

He feels that since he took office in Guangxi last year, he has had some bad luck.

First, there was an imperial edict from Bianjing City, which transferred the Nong family and his son back to Guihua Prefecture.

At that time he knew something was going to happen - Nong Zhihui had a blood feud with the Jiaozhi people!

Moreover, it is a two-way blood feud - this is a blood feud that has been continued since the time of Nong Zhigao!

Nong Zhigao's uprising not only turned Guangxi of the Song Dynasty upside down.

It also made the people of Jiaozhi feel like they were in a state of ecstasy.

After Duke Di Wuxiang led his army to pacify the country, the Nong family had a deep blood feud with the Jiaozhi people, so they all led their troops to join the Song Dynasty.

Behind the cause of Xining's southern expedition, there was also the encouragement of the Nong family to Shen Qi and Liu Yi.

In the seventh year of Yuanfeng before he took office in Guangxi, he went to Beijing to face the saints.

The late emperor once warned him that he should be cautious about returning to the state.

He also understood what the late emperor had entrusted to him - the Cochin people should be careful, but the Nong family should also be careful.

Nong Zhihui is Nong Zhigao’s younger brother!

The traitor's younger brother seems to be submissive now. Will An Zhi become powerful and rebel in the future?

Therefore, strict surveillance is required.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the new king came to the throne, Nong Zhihui returned to Guihua Prefecture.

Now, it seems that Nongzhihui has found a big backer in Bianjing City!

Thinking about this in his mind, Miao Shizhong became more and more irritable.

I can only let people send Nong Kexiang away and go back to the mansion behind the government office.

He doesn't want to stay in Guangxi anymore.

Three days later, an imperial edict came down from Bianjing City.

The content of the imperial edict was to severely reprimand him for sitting back and watching Jiaozhi invade Guihua Prefecture, harming good people, and doing nothing.

And gave him a cruel punishment - a fine of thirty kilograms of copper and two years of grinding!

I am so surprised!

At the same time, the imperial edict ordered him to appease the Dong people in Guihua Prefecture and not to disappoint the good people of the Dong people in the imperial court.

By the way, he was also given an order not to disturb Jiaozhi.

Miao Shizhong felt numb after receiving the imperial edict.

But at the same time, his heart was beating loudly.

What he knows is that the imperial court has decided to attack Jiaozhi!

This means - it's time for him to make a contribution!

It's not that he wants to lead troops into battle, Miao Shizhong knows himself, he is not that material!

However, he was a rare logistics expert among the civil servants of the Song Dynasty!

He started his career as the Deputy Transport Envoy of Guangxi, responsible for transporting grain and grass to the southern expedition army, and was appreciated by the late emperor.

After that, I started doing this job specifically.

Han Cunbao conquered Luzhou barbarians, and his successors, Lin Guang and Wang Guang, later conquered Luzhou, and it was he who transferred grain and grass to supply the army.

His original method of accumulating luck played a huge role in the Five-Road Expedition to Summer.

Therefore, he was able to continue to be promoted, and now he is Zhilong Tuge, a court official.

I thought that before becoming an official, I could only go to Baowen Pavilion to prepare it.

Now, if war starts again in Guangxi.

If he continues to make great contributions, it is not impossible to get a bachelor of Duanming Palace before he becomes an official!

So, after receiving the imperial edict, he thanked the queen again and again in the direction of Bianjing City.

Miao Shizhong immediately started doing his old job.

They began to draw grain and grass from various official warehouses on Guangnan West Road and assemble them in Guizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou and other places.

It just so happened that the official government last year encouraged Guangnan Prefecture and allowed Guangnan West Road Junzhou, which greatly increased the amount of leftover money. At the same time, they issued an edict to favor Guangnan West Road Junzhou, which could increase the official grain purchase price in summer and autumn.

This left local military governors with a large amount of money in their hands and enough food in their official warehouses.

Now, this all comes into play.

If you have money, you can hire civilians to transport grain and grass, and there will be enough grain and grass savings in the official warehouse!

A large amount of food and fodder began to be assembled towards the front line by land and water.

Every day, thousands of stones of grain are transported to Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Guizhou.

Before Jiachen (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month), Guizhou alone had 100,000 shi of grain and grass reserves (Guizhou originally had tens of thousands of shi of official grain)!

This means that Guizhou's savings alone are enough to support tens of thousands of troops fighting for more than a month.

At this time, new news came from Bianjing.

Zhang Dun, who was in power, was appointed as Minister Zuocheng and served as a minister. He went out to Guangxi as a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace and served as the economic and strategic pacification envoy of Guangxi, as well as the envoy to encourage farmers and the envoy to observe and handle matters within the administration.

Di Yong, the son of Di Qing, was the general manager of Guangxi Military and Horse Capital, and was in charge of the tea and horse affairs of Gou Guang Nan West Road.

Yanchen, the eldest son of the palace commander Yanda, was in charge of the official affairs of Guangnan West Road regarding injuries and illnesses.

Gao Zunhui, a member of the imperial court and a foreign minister of the Ministry of Finance, took charge of official affairs for Guangxi Zouma.

As for his Miao Shizhong?

For the crime of "sitting back and watching the Jiaozhi bandits invade and disturbing the tranquility of the benevolent saints in the two palaces", the emperor demoted him to the position of Guangnan West Road Transport Envoy and Guangxi Baggage Envoy, who was fully responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, supplies, and medicines for the army, and ordered him to "dedicate his crime and perform meritorious services."

He also ordered Lianghu, Guangnan East Road and other road supervisors to transfer money and silk to Guangxi to supply the needs of the army.

In particular, the coins minted at Yongxing Field in Tanzhou can be transferred to Guangxi on the spot to supply military supplies.
