Chapter 429: The building of a crooked building is about to be crooked

After a moment of stopping, Shi Chuan said affirmatively: "The Battle of Yanyun is a pit. Whoever goes to fill it into the pit, even if they hold an atomic bomb, they will be defeated by someone with a stone tool. I don't care about what others do, and I won't fill that pit."

Absolute power led to absolute destruction. The policy of "governing the world with scholars and officials" in the early Song Dynasty led to ancient China reaching the peak of civilization in the Song Dynasty. The separation of criminal prisons (judicial), administrative, military power, and financial power (transport department) decided that the society at that time was a basic just society, and individual power was guaranteed in this society - however, all these systems conflicted with imperial power and greatly restricted the expansion of imperial power. In the end, imperial power instructed Wang Anshi to carry out reforms and destroyed all checks and balance mechanisms.

In the reform to expand imperial power, Aoxiang Gong insisted on destroying all dissidents. When only one voice was left in the entire court, the moment of destruction came - Tong Guan did not allow soldiers to fight, and no one in the entire army dared to violate it. So after the war, the common saying circulated by the people: The Jin people have maces, and our family has a spiritual cap.

The endless anger made Shi Chuan speechless, and waves of sadness surged like a tide. The waves beside Penglai Pavilion strengthened the depression. Shi Chuan felt the sky and earth whistling, and his ears were buzzing.

After a while, Huang Yu beside him stumbled for a moment and asked carefully: To what extent?"

Huang Yu did not think that Shi Chuan had any reason, but the Liao Kingdom stood for hundreds of years, and all the wars with the Liao Kingdom were basically failed. The Song people had developed a psychological constancy in the face of the Liao Kingdom. Culturally, they could look down on the Liao people, but militaryally, they kept looking up. It was precisely to hide this cowardly mentality that all the people in Bianliang City were loudly proclaiming that they would win this battle, but in fact, they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.

But what Huang Yu thought of most was the failure to attack Liao. He could not guess that the entire Song Dynasty would collapse due to this. If the entire Shandong was not good, the entire north of the Yellow River could not be saved. Shi Chuan asked back: "Do you know the content of the secret agreement between Song and Jin?"

Huang Yuqian laughed: "Although the Jin envoys all came ashore from Dengzhou, I came to Dengzhou for four and knew about the maritime covenant similar to those of Luqi people - I only knew the details of this covenant but didn't know."

Shi Chuan replied: "It roughly means to divide Yanyun - the Jin people who returned to the north of Yanshan and the imperial court to the south. Do you know that the Liaohe area north of Yanshan also lived in Han people? Do you know how the Jin people would treat these prisoners after they captured the prisoners? We contacted the Jin people to attack other people's homes and agreed to divide the spoils from each other. We let the Han people in Yanyun see the brothers and sisters of their neighbors next door being dragged to be abused by the Jin people, but they still hope that the other party would warmly welcome our arrival - do you think this is reality?"

Huang Yu's face became more ashamed and became more serious. Shi Tuan then explained: "The war focuses on "knowing oneself and knowing oneself". Now we don't know oneself and always have to "knowing oneself". What do we have now? Although He Lanhuang won the battle, the Xibing Group was destroyed. How many guards are there from Hehuang to Shanxi, Shaanxi? On the other side are the angry Xixia and Tubo.

We just angered two powerful enemies in the west, and the south was greatly damaged by the Manichaeism rebellion. To this day, local regiments are still running around and busy suppressing bandits. At this time, our trade with Goryeo has shrunk and trade with Japan has shrunk and the taxes received by the Maritime Bureau have dropped year by year. This year, the southern wealth and wealth are still unrecovered by Fang La. In this way, we are going to provoke the powerful enemy in the north - I ask you, what if the Xixia people and the Tubo people are coming to take revenge at this time, what will the He Lanhuang area have to resist? Can we still draw troops from other places?"

When Shi Chuan said this, the Jin envoy had just signed a secret agreement with Xixia, agreeing that after the two sides would attack Liao, he would follow the trend to attack the Song Dynasty, He Lanhuang and Hubei would return to Xixia, and Shaanxi, Shanxi, Yanyun, and Jin Kingdom. Shortly after the signing of the alliance agreement between the two sides, Emperor Tianzha fled to Jiashan and sent an envoy to ask Xixia, the former vassal state of Xixia to send people to welcome Xixia to pretend not to hear it. Huang Yu was ashamed of the cold sweat of Shi Chuan. According to Shi Chuan's analysis, even if the battle between Yanyun was so powerful, he would still pray that something would happen in the west and that the rebels in the south should not be repeated. To be honest, Huang Yu was not a person who was not familiar with worldly affairs. Since his childhood, he has trained it as the heir of the big family. He only looked at his pursuit of the talented woman Chu Suzhen and could still hold on until the imperial examination before getting married in the capital. It can be seen that he is a person who has his own opinions and is good at analyzing and judgment.

In the conversation just now, Shi Chuan gave him a series of digital things. As long as he was not crazy, he simply measured the numbers, the facts were no longer refuted.

But what if you know the truth? Ji Ruoshui and others fought in the court, but they still never fought. Tong Guan has regarded the conquest of Liao as his own political achievements and is like a work of construction. According to the party struggle style formed since Wang Anshi, your opposition to me is to oppose my party, oppose my party, oppose my country, and the Han traitor. You must fight

In this case, who dares to object even though he knows he is jumping into the pit?

Huang Yu felt colder all over. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that his throat was lost. He worked hard for a while and took this opportunity to ponder the thoughts in his heart. He felt his throat was a little better, so he asked with difficulty: "Dalang just said that someone wanted to jump into a pit, but if you don't go, Tong Zhixiang was going to ask you to join the war?"

Huang Yu asked this question first, because he weighed the weight of his clothes. If even Tong Guan could reject it and be safe and sound, then he would not be afraid of someone to pursue the illegal activities with this guy.

Shi Chuan smiled slightly: "Our family is excluded!"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Chuan explained: "The Western Army is good at attacking, and everyone knows my performance in the south. In addition, my Western Army killed Xinxingzong, and before Xinxingzong was killed, there was some financial entanglement with me. Although this guy died, his friends were all over the Western Army. Tong Guan invited me! But everyone in the Western Army knew that I was domineering and worried that I would go to grab credit, so he pointed at Xinxingzong and entangled with me... As a result, I was assigned to Dengzhou."

Huang Yu was calm and calm. Since Shi Chuan's backstage was so tough, he was not afraid! He asked: "If it was as Dalang expected, what should we - you and my family do?" After saying that, Huang Yu added softly: "I originally thought that Dalang would work hard to manage Haizhou and would definitely guard the nest in Haizhou."

"I need enough strategic depth - Haizhou is my kiah, the main source of my ordnance. Drag the battle to my own territory, so what is the difference between my IQ and Tong Guan?"

Huang Yu opened his mouth and saw Dengzhou magistrate Yuwen Xuzhong leading several people over. He probably had talked to Shiteng here for a long time and had attracted the attention of others. He quickly went in and swallowed the words back, bowed to the governor Yuwen Xuzhong and Tongzong Diao? He bowed his hand and smiled at a young man next to him, and greeted him, "Zhuangyuan Gong, wait for the sunrise later, we have to look at your poems. This is Qin Hui, the top scholar of Zhenghe in the fifth year of Zhenghe, and the professor of the Taixue Zheng in the state of Taixue."

Shi Chuan's eyes widened Qing - Qin Hui, it was Qin Hui!

Dengzhou has many famous people - the magistrate "Yuwen Xuzhong", originally named "Yuwen Huangzhong". Song Huizong personally changed his name to Xuzhong, and his other name was Longxi Jushi.

He was from Guangdu, Chengdu (now Shuangliu, Chengdu). He was a Jinshi in the third year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty (11). After being appointed as the governor of Dengzhou, he was promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall. During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was detained and forced to serve as the Minister of Rites of the Jin State. He was ordered to be appointed as the founding Duke of Henei County and was respected as the "national teacher". Later, he was killed for his plan to flee south.

When the Jin people invaded the south, they led Hu Yanchuo to meet the enemy and went to Huangshanguan in Huang County to meet the Jin soldiers. The Song army was defeated and Hu Yanchuo died in the chaos. However, Diao was still fighting alone, and when he died, he was hit by seven arrows. Even the Jin people praised him for not being afraid of death.

As for the former governor of Dengzhou, it was even more famous - his name was Zongze. At this time, because of his disrespectful attitude when the Shenxiao Palace of Penglai Pavilion was built, he was removed from his fame and fortune and was in charge of Zhenjiang.

What a bunch of great people!

The officials just introduced to each other that Qin Hui was of low level and was ignored by Shi Chuan. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhuangyuan was really a person who seemed to be prosperous and could not be ignored. In a blink of an eye, he begged the magistrate to recommend himself to this Haizhou Haoshang, Jingdong East Road Defense Envoy, and Dengzhou Promoter.

Qin Hui waved his sleeves casually, and was about to pull out two sentences to show his talent of the top scholar. When he was looking at him, he suddenly inserted his clothes. But he was talking about the topic that had nothing to do with Qin Hui: "Haha, Lord Huang and I were originally from the same hometown, and met in another place. I just asked about the situation in Dengzhou, Lord Yuwen, is Dengzhou over the autumn harvest now?"

Yuwen Xuzhong laughed flatteringly and said flatteringly: "Defense Commander, Lord Huang, just took office, how could he know the local situation? You should ask me if you want to ask!"

Tongzhou Diao? hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Yuwen has been here for one term, and I think the next term will definitely be promoted to the court."

Shi Chuan was not polite, and asked immediately: "Sir, how many local population is there in Dengzhou?"

Yuwen Xuzhong frowned and said with a smile: "This is hard to say. In recent years, there have been too many landless farmers, most of the fields are deserted, and bandits are everywhere, and the people are not able to live in peace! As for this household registration statistics, we have to wait until Dengzhou has settled!"

Yuwen Xuzhong is an anti-general army - I don’t know the household registration statistics, mainly because there are too many bandits. When you clean up the bandits, I will count the number of people immediately.

As for why local farmers would rather abandon their land than leave this, it was a tacit matter for members of the new party.

Shi Chuan asked immediately, "Sir, can you do it if you collect 100,000 civilians this winter?"

Yuwen Xu was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "This, what do you want to do if you collect so many farmers? The local area is adjacent to the sea and the soil is not fertile. If you build water conservancy, it will be easier to cause backflow of seawater and salinization of the land."

"Building roads", I paused and added: "I was assigned by the Privy Council to come to Dengzhou to protect the transportation of sulfur saltpeter - how is this Mizhou Maritime Warehouse Department recently?"

Yuwen Xuzhong coughed and said, "Sir, we Dengzhou cannot control the affairs of Mizhou."

Shi Chuan nodded: "It's time to take care of it-the Privy Council intends to use Dengzhou as a sulfur storage point in Japan, so it needs to store warehouses in Dengzhou. In addition, transferring sulfur from Mizhou is not safe and costly, so I plan to walk on two legs:

First: Build funds to build a fleet and go to Japan to transport sulfur: Second, build several major roads across Jingdong East Road, and the road surfaces must be hardened to transport heavy objects such as artillery. Among them, building roads requires money, and building fleets requires money, but the court cannot afford to pay extra money, so I asked for a license: allow air ships to carry some necessary goods, sail out of Dengzhou military port, and go to Japan, and sell goods sold for purchases of sulfur, pay for fleet maintenance, and road construction."

Shitong was particularly slapped with the words "necessary goods" and the people present lit up their eyes when they heard this - since ancient times, they have been collecting money for projects, and Dengzhou allowed the sale of goods to be exchanged for sulfur... Isn't this "private sea trade"? Is it armed smuggling? After the warship went to sea, who knew that the ship sailed to the southeast, west and northwest?

"In addition, after the Lianjin destroyed Liao, there was another Jin Kingdom in the north of Dengzhou. We needed big wood to build ships. I heard that the north of Jin Kingdom was ancient and thick. I planned to buy wood from the Jin Kingdom to build ships. I guess my people had already built the dock, so I needed to hire a large number of fishermen and rent the built ships for them, or fishing or exploring the sailing route to the Jin Kingdom to prepare for the opening of the Maritime Bureau."

After a moment of pause, Shideng quickly said: "This will be a big business. I plan to fund a million yuan from the people, half of which is used to build roads and half of which is used to build ships. Everyone knows that war is imminent, so I ask that the winter build a hundred ships and most of the roads be built. You are all local officials. Anyway, in winter, you will recruit servants and mobilize personnel.

Now I am in a hurry and paying for the construction, which is just right for you to gather refugees and stabilize people's hearts. After doing it, it is also a political achievement for you. Please give me more attention!"

Huang Yu was born in a businessman family and reacted the fastest and immediately stated: "The two hundred miles of paths in this county need to be built, which costs about 50,000 guan!" "What?" Yuwen Xuzhong was angry: "A total of 500,000 guan is the road construction cost, you have to go 50,000 guan. No, there are nine states on Jingdong East Road. Master Shi served as a prosecutor in this state, so naturally the big head stays in this state - this state requires 300,000 guan!"

The noise here immediately attracted the attention of the officials around him. After hearing the shouts, more officials gathered around him and explained the situation in a few words, they all started to scramble. After a while, Shi Chuan was squeezed to the periphery. He smiled bitterly and said to Huang Yu, who was also squeezed out: "I haven't raised it yet, these people have begun to divide up."

Huang Yu calmed down for a moment, and suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to be talking about war. As he was talking, he was on the road construction. When Huang Yu saw Qin Hui coming over in the corner of his eyes, he quickly asked Shi Chuan: "You said the Privy Council asked you to build roads and ships, right? When did the imperial court formulate such a large project, but did not pass through the Zizheng Hall and distribute a penny from the downwards? The imperial court has not been embarrassed to let the people raise funds, right?"
