Chapter 385 The Crow and the White Dove’s respective thoughts

Sweat-blooded BMW. Although Song Jiang had never seen the specific shape of the Sweat-blooded BMW, he thought that for a few Sweat-blooded BMWs, Emperor Wu of Han did not hesitate to launch a battle to sway the country. Looking at the majestic and agility of the war horses on the field, it was simply a combination of strength and beauty. Such a war horse should of course be Sweat-blooded BMW.

But in fact, these horse breeds are hybrids of Arabian horses and an African horse, which are modernly called "Spanish horses". Their skin looks like black and white cows, and they all have large black and white spots. This is a war horse breed between light cavalry and heavy cavalry. It has strong short-distance sprinting ability and good weight-bearing ability, but it is not suitable for long-distance Mercedes-Benz.

Sun Li quickly bowed: "Brother, don't make things difficult for brothers. There are strict regulations for these war horses to breed each time. The Kunlun slaves do not understand human words at all and cannot be compatible with them. Every time these people are mate, they have to record who the horse's father is and who the mother is. The children they gave birth to must be named - Xiuwulang called this "genealogy map" and ordinary war horses are not allowed to get close to these horse breeds at all."

There was a faint sense of pride in Sun Li's words, and Song Jiang knew that his purpose was not clear this time. In addition, no matter how wronged he was as an employee, I would send you a Ferrari for you to carry on, you, you, you, you have a sweat-blooded BMW, and no matter how wronged you are, it is not a grievance.

Even if there are many rules for riding a BMW, you can't touch these war horses normally, but it's a sweat-blooded BMW after all. No matter who can own this legendary BMW, you won't feel that there will be any regrets in life.

Song Jiang recalled the brothers who tried to approach the war horse and went to dinner with Sun Li's greeting.

I have long heard that Xiu Wulang's cooking skills are good at home - rumors about this are all reported by people in the group training workshop and enjoying free lunch. There is no ancient man wearing it like this, and he uses all kinds of spices as if he doesn't want to spend money... But the meal that Song Jiang ate was like chewing wax, and the brothers were having fun at the meal, and Song Jiang was not in the mood to cater to him...

After finally finishing the meal, the accompanying clerk kept urging Song Jiang to leave. Song Jiang was eager to say goodbye. Before leaving, he couldn't help but show off, saying goodbye to her tears, thanking her sincerely for the reception, and so on. Then Song Jiang led his brothers across the Shuyang River and turned to look at the sixteen-serial dock on the other side. He sighed and said, "Brother Sun Li's heart is no longer Liangshan."

The leader of Liangshan, including Zhang Cen and Song Jiang, had 38 people, and six people would go to work wherever they could go, which was equivalent to one-sixth of the force. This time, Song Jiang said goodbye, Shi Bin hid in the railings and tiles, and the rest of the people avoided it. The brothers ended up in their separate ways, and Song Jiang couldn't say anything sad.

...

At this moment, Shi Chuan was not actually in Shuyang. He led Sun Li and Lin Chong to Shuyang; after leading Zhang Heng and Zhang Cen to the navy, he secretly returned to Haizhou City to hold the final negotiations with Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye used to ask about the situation of the heroes of Liangshan first. When he knew about Shideng, he spent them all, so that Song Jiang had no chance to communicate with them. He nodded with satisfaction and started to talk to Song Jiang's mission this time: "Xuwulang, do you know how Fang La's news came to Datian to listen to? Haha, Wang Qingchu privately concealed the news about Fang La's uprising. I heard that with the help of the time of paying the Spring Fu, the Ministry of Revenue privately disclosed the news to a certain censor..."

Next, Zhang Shuye described how an iron-faced censor seized the opportunity. When Emperor Huizong was playing with his friends, he told Emperor Huizong that the fallen in Hangzhou, the fallen in Huaixi, and the rebellion of Zhang Di in Hebei again. It is said that one of the prime ministers of Emperor Huizong at that time, the Left Chief of the Shangshu, Li Bangyan, who was known as the "prodigal son" prime minister, was holding the pillar and learning to bark to please Emperor Huizong.

The censor stepped forward and said sternly: "Your Majesty, the Southeast has been trapped for a long time, and the spring tax has not been submitted this year. The Ministry of Revenue is waiting for Your Majesty to deal with it. The Transportation Envoy of Liangzhe Road requested to transfer the imperial guards to come out to suppress the enemy. At this time, the people around Your Majesty are above the princes. Isn't it too much to do this?"

Emperor Daojun did not have the heart to listen to the news of the fall of his city at this time. However, because the censor's literary talent was very good, the following long and long speeches were gorgeous, and his words were extremely deceptive. The emperor suddenly felt that it was uneasy for three or five miles after leaving the capital Bianliang, and the world was full of rebels. Such a happy life that would make him laugh with the Prime Minister holding the pillar would probably not last long.

So, Emperor Huizong reluctantly ordered the confiscation and rebellion in various places... Of course, the unlucky censor was then dealt with by Huizong's "Prime Prime Minister". Huizong expressed joy in this - no one dared to disturb him from now on, except for the Jin people in the future.

Zhang Shuye was passionate about his speech, Shi Chuan was drowsy and said to himself: This has something to do with me. The country is not my country. The owner of this country wants to make a fortune. As a small ambitious man lurking among the people, I wish he would die sooner.

When Zhang Shuye saw that his speech did not arouse expectations, he sighed, withdrew his incitement tone, and said in a cold tone: "The official family ordered the conquest of the traitors, but now the administration is in ruins. The official family built Genyue and Jingfu Palace and transported Huashigang in large quantities, spending a lot of money. The Ministry of Revenue has collected another 2,000 guan this year. Therefore, he mobilized the imperial guards from the capital to collect the southeast for collection... Alas, the military expenditure is insufficient, and the officers are deducting it, and I am afraid that it will cause a military mutiny like Wang Qing, so the official family decided to mobilize groups from all parties to collect the traitors. Ahem, I have reported your name."

Shi Chuan raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Shuye, and replied softly: "Dayin, Cuizhuang's group training is not a school reading group training."

It is not a school review group training. The court does not usually pay military pay. Even everyone pays for weapons - mainly because they are paid for it at the right time. The emperor transferred to the group training this time, probably because he wanted to rely on military pay again - can this be achieved, can the landlord and gentry agree?

Zhang Shuye calmly replied: "Your Majesty issued an order this time that all the gang trainings dispatched were not 'school reading gang training'.

In other words, the emperor sent all the troops to fight this time, without paying military pay and bringing his own weapons. Perhaps he also had to bring his own dry food to the landlords.

After a moment of pause, Zhang Shuye decided to go through something. He gently added: "The court's arms have crossed the sea to the Jin Kingdom."

In Zhang Shuye's mind, Shi Chuan is a sloppy person who likes to rush and go straight. He never has to talk about things that can be solved with fists. However, Zhang Shuye also admitted in his heart that it is easy to talk to Shi Chuan. He just needs to click on some tricks and the other party will understand immediately. For example, this time, Zhang Shuye only said such a sentence without end. When others hear it, they may feel that they are still in their dreams. But Shi Chuan immediately replied clearly: "This means that the court will soon join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao, so the imperial guards in the north cannot be easily mobilized. The court is afraid that they will fall into war and will not be transferred from the battlefield."

This is not what I, Zhang Shuye, said, it was what you guessed by Shiteng. Zhang Shuye is a rigorous person. He will never reveal this heavyweight military secret to irrelevant little people... He felt that he was very cautious. This important military secret cannot be said from his mouth, but he did not know that within a power system, the people who control power were very clear: information determines judgment. Although ordinary people cannot explain such profound truths, they also know that the most important information is controlled by the most important officials. Therefore, those who hold secrets like to use heavyweight news to show off their identity in chatting and show that they are at the center of national decision-making, so in this foolish society, they explore the most secret information.

Therefore, the news of the Song and Jin Sea Alliance had already been known to all the streets and alleys that were spread by the scholars and officials and the people. During the hesitation and recurrence of Song Huizong, even when Tong Guan brought back the Liao people, Ma Zhi, the old men who looked at the toilet in Bianliang City knew that the court was going to join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao.

Knowing the reason does not mean that Shi Chuan intends to participate in this farce personally, let alone Zhang Shuye is an iron-fisted figure. He just sat on the chairs of the prefect of Shanghai Prefecture and immediately spent the most powerful "gentleman" in the prefecture of Haizhou Prefecture. Shi Chuan didn't want to lead the team out for the front foot and conquer the world with passion. The back foot was cleaned up by someone else's family.

"Dayin, you know that although they enjoy a great reputation among the people, they have not actually experienced any real fierce battles. Moreover, my team is all firearms troops. After a war, the gunpowder and cannons consumed are expensive and heavy. The court does not even pay military pay. I have to pay out every battle out of my own pocket... This transaction is not worth it... Don't tell me about Yan Yun's ambition, and I'm told me about taking into account the overall situation. For us ordinary people, the overall situation of the country is not our control. The situation at home is the biggest "bureau" for ordinary people, and I won't exchange anything."

This sentence implies deep meaning, and Zhang Shuye suddenly smiled: "Everyone says you are a fool, but you are so stupid and cute. Some words in the court cannot be said explicitly, but everyone knows the rules: if you transfer teams to train armed forces and fight a war, the court will never ask if it is seized - for example, if you seize the Liangshan gangster this time, I will give you a bounty, have you ever asked you for the Liangshan war horse?"

Shi Chuan suddenly felt extremely frustrated: "Oh, Da Yin, why didn't you say it earlier? I still thought that the Liangshan gangs were surrendered, so I never searched them afterwards. This group of bandits robbed everywhere for more than ten years. Every Liangshan hero who came home had his property loaded several cars to go home... Or, sir, I'll give you a few horses, and then I sent someone to catch up with the Liangshan gangs. Well, do the things that were not finished on the battlefield by the way?"

Zhang Shuye nodded: "It should be like this - the imperial court surrendered the Liangshan bandits this time, and did a very inauthentic job. Either if you don't do this, you should do it beautifully. Each of their leaders should be given a suitable high position, so that they can satisfy them and never have the intention of rebellion again. How can you throw away a few inconspicuous small official positions like now, making them feel resentful?

This group of Liangshan bandits still have some skills in marching and fighting. At this moment, they went to Hangzhou to quell the rebellion. If there was a stir in front of the army, they might be disturbed by the imperial court's plan to quell the rebellion. Since they were recruited by me, let me completely settle the matter.

Hangzhou is rich, and Liangshan Kou must have a lot of treasures. You go to the front of the formation and help me monitor Liangshan Kou. If they are rebellious again, you will immediately bury them for me. How about this kind of small job? It’s easy.”

Shi Chuan thought about the relevant historical records. No wonder the rebellion of Fang La and others was quelled, and there was no discussion on seizure of memorials from everywhere. However, Han Shizhong, a commander of the commander, had a "preparatory general (equivalent general)" under the name of a commander, and after the battle, it was said that he was rich enough to rival the country. He became the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" who were ranked alongside Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It turned out that this guy completed his "first pot of gold" ahead of schedule when he was conquering Fang La.

Shi Chuan has always been not satisfied with the training of Cuizhuang Group. This team is very good at training. Usually, everyone can obey orders with orders. However, when they go to the battlefield, they show little confidence. They lack a murderous aura and the belief of winning. To put it more rigorously, this group of people dare not fight.

If you have the opportunity to go to the Hangzhou battlefield to exercise, it is indeed Shi Chuan's thoughts. Maybe this trip will transform the team. But...

Shi Chuan replied hesitantly: "Dayin, I heard that this year I'm a vocation. I still want to go to the autumn examination this fall to be a juren. If I miss the exam this time, wouldn't I have to wait for another three years?"

Zhang Shuye, who came from the imperial examination, also thought that this reason was enough. He nodded: "Anyway, I will report your name first. When the court issues a formal order of dispatch, there is no rush. The court allows the army to spend time to dispatch food and grass... In this way, it will be no problem to delay the departure after the autumn examination. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind while preparing for the military. I will give you a document so that you have the right to go to Mizhou to buy gunpowder..."

This is not what Shidai wants, what Shidai wants is just a guarantee.

Seeing that Zhang Shuye always avoided this topic, Shi Chuan seemed very impatient. He turned cold and continued to shirk: "Da Yin, if you want to deal with the heroes of Liangshan, there are already a few Liangshan people in my team. If they can't do anything at that time, they will start to make trouble with me..."

Shi Chuan is now qualified to talk to the magistrate with a cold face - even if his name is "Shuye Zhang".

Nowadays, Jinxiu Street is becoming more and more prosperous, and Jinxiu Association has become another major trading center in Haizhou in addition to tea trade. At the same time, Cuizhuang has become a commodity processing center, and Baihu Villa has become the largest wine production base in the country. In addition, Shanghai merchants organized a merchant fleet to go to Nanyang not long ago, so that Haizhou's tax sources are concentrated in Shizhan's hands, which annoys Shizhan. Just a small trip and a little lower tax revenue is enough to reduce Zhang Shuye's assessment.

This is the real gentry and bully.

So Zhang Shuye now has to coax Shideng to work.

Zhang Shuye did feel that the four major tax sources in Haizhou were bothered by Shiwai, which made him a little unhappy in the seat of the prefect. He really wanted to give Shiwai out first, and then use his little wrist to separate and disagree. But... it is said that Shiwai is stupid, but why is this guy stubborn like a cow and doesn't take the bait no matter what.

Zhang Shuye decided to throw out some more bait: "If you lead the troops out, the officials always have to give a name. Well, there has never been a chief clerk in Haizhou. When you pass the imperial examination, I will come forward to ensure that you are the county clerk."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Shuye continued: "You lead the group out as the chief clerk. If the Liangshan bandits are unstable, you will kill them all - don't let one go."

Shi Zhiyue found Zhang Shuye’s plan. He sat there and his butt was still moving and whispered: “Sir, I am now the defensive envoy of the head-pulling naval army—this was appointed by the adults in person.”

Uncle Zhang sighed secretly, forgot, it turns out that the fool in front of him is not stupid at all

You said that I was so smart for a lifetime, so why was I misled?

Zhang Shuye tried weakly to persuade: "Xuwulang, what is the military position of defense? I, an official of the Song Dynasty, have three or four official titles on one person's head. Even if you serve as the chief clerk, if you still think defense is fun, then continue to let it go."

Uncle Zhang was still pretending to be confused and Shideng was unwilling to go around in circles. He clearly replied: "My lord, after I became the official of this defense envoy, I spent more than 100,000 yuan to rectify the navy. Not only did I buy many new warships, but I also recruited countless sailors. Now the stall has just been opened. Suddenly, I am not a defense envoy. Who can repay me with these 100,000 yuan?"

Zhang Shuye also felt a little wronged - Batou Shui Army was ruined, so just let him go and I will reward the generals who captured the thief. Who asked you to save Batou Shui Army? Now, what shareholding system are you still in Batou Shui Army? What are you talking about dividends? You, what do you treat the imperial army as? You, what are your workshops? If I don’t deal with you, how can I deal with the impeachment of the Lord Jianzhou (Tongzong)?

Uncle Zhang really wants to say: Who do you love? I don’t want money, but I’ll have one death…

But the Song Dynasty was a moral society, and literati and officials must pay attention to trust and righteousness.

The Batou Navy was disabled because of Zhang Shuye's order. They placed arson ships to block the Liangshan gangs and thus were disabled. They implemented Zhang Shuye's order well, and Zhang Shuye could not punish them for this. Now the court has not allocated funds for the reconstruction of the Batou Navy, and Shizhan paid out of his own pocket - whoever invested would benefit, right? Whoever is the boss, this business strategy has to be listened to, right?

In order to rebuild this huge naval force, Shituan's strategy of attracting investment was not in line with the imperial system, but the rebuilt naval army took on all the patrol tasks it should undertake, and did it perfectly... Of course, they may have done a little more, for example, last month, their patrol end was marked as: Japan's Heian Kyo.

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth several times, finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what are you going to do?"

Everything is on the table, so everything is easy to discuss.

Politics is an art of compromise. Shi Chuan planned to use small concessions to exchange for the greatest gain. He looked at Zhang Shuye and said calmly: "If I don't go to war, I will keep everything there is no problem. Now the court does not pay military pay to let me go to the battlefield, and the old man asked me to go out and help stare at the Liangshan gangsters... I have done so many things, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Where is my profit?"

Do you think this is going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and have to bargain? - Zhang Shuye was a little angry, and at this moment, Shi Chuan was also angry.

He really wanted to yell like the line Feng Xiaogang shouted at the police station in a certain film: What? Who am I a gentry provoked? I paid taxes according to the rules, opened factories seriously, how many workers have I raised? How much income has it increased to the government? I am just a little more powerful and a bit more fierce, but we didn’t do anything illegal?

Why? Since ancient times, as long as we have great power, others will dislike us. We always come and weaken it - isn't this forcing people to rebel? We are a good citizen who pays taxes seriously and insists on staring at you and talking to you. Are you comfortable? If you have a little more power, you need to bully the officials. Only then will you be willing to surrender?
