Chapter 378 Chieftains who are loyal to the emperor and serve the country

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Guo Xianqing was reprimanded by the officials in the palace and was sent to the Imperial College for "re-education".

The news quickly spread throughout the elite circles in Bianjing City.

Then, it spread to the market, and on the next day, both "Bianjing Xinbao" and "Bianjing Yibao" published this matter on the front page.

Of course, the entry points and perspectives of the two are different.

Bianjing Xinbao simply treated this matter as gossip.

However, the Bianjing Yibao wrote a large and special book about this, quoting scriptures and exaggerating it at all lengths.

It's like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

In an instant, countless ripples appeared.

Countless nobles immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Quick...quickly raise money!"

Gao Huai took the Bianjing Yibao in his hand and hurriedly found Si Yan at his home: "Immediately send someone to raise money, and when the Cold Food Festival is over, Kaifeng Mansion's Yamen will send it to you!"

This can be done quickly!

The sooner the better!

Because Guo Xianqing has proved it with his own body. If he doesn't pay back the money he owes, even though that little official won't be able to collect debts, people will remember him.

The memory of this small official is recognized by both the government and the public as very good.

After assigning the task, Gao Huai patted his chest and comforted himself: "Just think of spending money to eliminate disasters!"

He said this on his lips, but in his heart, even his intestines were filled with regret.

Especially when you think about other people's main stores making huge profits every day, but your own main store is empty.

Gao Huai felt even more uncomfortable.

"What am I trying to do?"

After going around in such a big circle, the money needed to be repaid cannot be less.

He also lost a huge amount of wealth, as well as Jane's chance in the emperor's heart.

I went to my grandma’s house!

Fortunately, the Gao family has been in peace for a long time. Even if the officials pay attention to this matter, Gao Huai feels that they cannot pay attention to his own family.

The sky is falling, but someone tall is holding it up!

Then, Gao Huai got the news.

Many families in Bianjing City are raising money!

The money on the market is even more expensive!

Fortunately, by the afternoon, the problem of expensive money was finally solved.

Because a large amount of copper coins, gold and silver poured into the market from the hands of shops and housekeepers, and from the hands of various officials in Beijing.

The brocades, silk cloths, tea leaves, treasures, and spices thrown out by each family were all recycled.

Although the prices are a little lower, they are still within the acceptable range.

At least, it's better than trying to sell your own house and not being able to raise the money, but others are raising the money and leaving your house in place and turning it into a conspicuous package.



Yiyou (21), the leap month of the first year of Yuanyou, is the last day of the Cold Food Festival holiday.

When Zhao Xu woke up in the morning, Shi Deyi was already squatting in front of him.

"Everyone, all the bureaus in Beijing, as well as the field and shop staff, etc., were ordered to pay 900,000 guan and thousands of taels of gold and silver to purchase various goods. Most of them have been cleared now..."

"A total of more than 200,000 pieces of silk cloth, more than 100,000 catties of tea, thousands of catties of spices, and a large amount of brocade have been recycled..."

"In addition, we also purchased more than a hundred mansions in the capital and more than a thousand acres of vegetable gardens outside the city..."

"The total value is approximately over 1.3 million yuan!"

"Good!" Zhao Xu smiled and nodded.

Just relying on these two days, there is an opportunity for a large number of surplus goods to appear on the market.

He used less than 1.1 million guan to recover goods, real estate, etc. worth about 1.5 million guan from the market at low prices.

The best thing is - the coins he threw out will, after going around in a circle, gradually return to the loyal sealing warehouse in the next few days.

This wave is a win.

Of course, Zhao Xu still left his dignity for others.

He didn't deliberately smash the market - if he had a darker heart, he could actually use the huge industry controlled by the royal family to directly smash the market.

The brocade originally cost dozens of guang, but he could sell it for less than 20 guan.

Tell the nobles to vomit blood!

But this is boring. Others are not fools and can see it at a glance.

How good it is now.

Zhao Xu recovered the debt, Xungui paid off the debt, and became a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty again.

At the same time, the government had a large amount of assets in its hands.

"Spices, brocades, and treasures will all be sold to Cao, Wang, Liu, Yang, Li and other relatives according to market prices..." Zhao Xu ordered.

In this way, through the hands of these relatives, the price can be increased by 20% and then sold to the Liao people.

As a result, Zhao Xu felt that this wave of conservative profits amounted to 700,000 to 800,000 yuan!

This is after deducting the kickbacks given to the Liao people.

"No!" Shi Deyi accepted the order and left.

Zhao Xu stood up from the bed, and Feng Jing had already brought someone in to help him wash up.



In Guizhou, between the mountains and rivers, a huge fleet is sailing through the waves.

Di Yong stood at the head of the bed, looking at the outline of Guizhou City in the distance.

He turned around and asked Yan Chen: "Yan Guan Gou, Guizhou has arrived!"

Yan Chen nodded and said: "Yes, Governor, Guizhou has arrived!"

Guangnan West Road is where his father once fought.

He still remembered that when he was a child, his father told them about the conquest of Jiaozhi in the past.

Mosquitoes, miasma, and heavy rain were the things his father mentioned most often.

but now……

Yanchen is no longer afraid of the problems that troubled his parents back then.

Well-trained military doctors and well-prepared methods and medicines made Yan Chen confident.

Half an hour later, the fleet slowly docked at the dock.

The civil and military officials of Guizhou, led by Miao Shizhong, Guangxi's transshipment envoy and Guizhou general magistrate, had already formed a long queue in front of the pier to welcome the army from Bianjing.

When the ship docked, Di Yong was the first to step onto the dock from the deck, followed by Yan Chen.

Then came Yulong Zhi, who was escorting the military doctors.

These Yulongzhi have all been put on armor from Bianjing City.

A golden phoenix-winged helmet is worn on the head, and expensive thin chain armor covers the whole body. The majestic beast swallows draped arms on both shoulders, and the armor-breaking heavy ax in his hand shines sharply with cold light.

Just looking at the appearance, he is worthy of the emperor's guards and the best in the world!

As soon as these imperial dragons came out, the local people watching outside the pier started cheering.

The civil and military officials led by Miao Shizhong lowered their heads and looked at each other.

Someone who knows the goods has already recognized it.

"Oryu Nao! Oryu Nao who protects the emperor!?"

"I, Guangnan West Road, have so much virtue and ability that I can work for the Emperor's personal guards to visit me in person?"

However, those civil servants who originally wanted to take advantage of the imperial army from Bianjing have now put an end to those ridiculous thoughts in their minds.

joke!

They brought Yulong Zhi!

Any top soldier in Yulongzhi might have a higher status than them in Bianjing!

Miao Shizhong remembered the content in the Di newspaper.

The imperial city envoy, Di Yong, the governor of Qingzhou, Ochihementongshisheren, Yulongguduo directly commanded, and the imperial city envoy was the general manager of Guangxi's military and horse capital and also in charge of Guangxi's tea and horse affairs.

Yan Chen, the servant on the left, was in charge of the third command of Zuo Zhi, who was under the command of Yu Long. He was in charge of the official affairs of Guangxi's sick and wounded and was also the military medicine envoy of various armies.

These are already two bombs.

Because, these two people are not only the sons of generals, but also come from the emperor today.

Almost the same as the governor of the Han Dynasty.

They even brought a whole team of Yuryunao!

So scary!

Think about it again, the name of this army going south is the First General Yulong.

This is the new army just formed by the emperor this year.

It is said that all those recruited are the elite of the Imperial Guard in Beijing!

Miao Shizhong could only bravely go forward and bow his hands: "I, Miao Shizhong, lead the Guangxi Transport Envoy and the officials from Guizhou to welcome Di Qian and Yan Guangou!"

Di Yong and Yan Chen stepped forward and bowed their hands in return.

Yan Chen then said to Di Yong: "Your Majesty, I have the emperor's mandate and I need to move first to protect the military doctors and the accompanying military supplies. Please forgive me for resigning!"

He is responsible for protecting the one hundred and fifty military doctors and the supplies specially allocated to him by the emperor.

Toilet water, alcohol, cotton, coarse cloth straps, etc.

And the most terrible thing is the eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder!

Di Yong nodded: "Yan Guan Gou, please!"

Yan Chen confessed to the civil and military officials of Guangxi, and led Yu Longzhi and a forbidden army team specially assigned to him by Di Yong to protect the military doctors and military medical apprentices, escorted a large amount of supplies, and first began to move to the dock. Go outside.



Zhang Dun was not in Guizhou at this time, but in the city of Yizhou.

After entering Guangxi, he did not go directly to Guizhou. He only informed Guizhou that he planned to go to Yongzhou from Yizhou and Liuzhou.

When he arrived in Yizhou, Zhang Dun followed the decree and summoned Mo Shiren, the governor of Nandan Prefecture, and ordered him to recruit strong men from the Dong River and assemble the army on standby. He also promised to acquire land in the future, and ordered the Mo family's meritorious deeds to be divided among them.

Guarding a certain place in Jiaozhi, he was hereditary chieftain.

At this time, Mo Shiren had already received an edict allowing him to go to Bianjing City for pilgrimage.

Naturally, he happily agreed and ordered his second son, third son and other sons to recruit soldiers in Nandan Prefecture and the surrounding Dong tribes, actively train them, and be ready to respond to Zhang Dun's call at any time.

Among them, Mo Shiren was originally a die-hard loyalist of the Song Dynasty.

It also has a great relationship with the situation of the Mo family.

Since the Mo family in Nandan Prefecture, their ancestor Mo Hongyue donated his land to the Song Dynasty and became the chieftain of Jisi in the Song Dynasty, there have been disputes among the Mo family from generation to generation.

Of course, Mo Shiren's sons were no exception. If Mo Shiren hadn't been alive, they would have started fighting long ago.

Now, a big man from Bianjing fell from the sky. This big man promised that in the future, he could carve out territory in Guangyuan Prefecture, Silang Prefecture, and even Suzhou and Mao Prefecture in the north of Cochin for meritorious people.

Whether it is Mo Shiren, his eldest son, or other sons, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses - brothers, there is no need to go to Nandan Prefecture again.

What are you waiting for?

Mo Shiren provided the money, his eldest son provided the strength, and the other sons took action one after another to recruit strong and capable warriors from various Dong tribes.

Let’s all go, let’s go! Let’s go quickly! Let’s go as far as possible!

The Mo family tribe in Nandan Prefecture has always been famous for being honest, loyal and not afraid of death.

He was the vanguard in suppressing civil and military rebellions in various places in Guangxi during the Song Dynasty.

When the surrounding chieftains heard that a ruling figure had come to Bianjing City, they promised the Mo family members to recruit soldiers. As long as they performed meritorious services, they would be given a new territory in the north of Jiaozhi to serve as chieftain queens.

These people also became excited.

Why can the Mo family's sons be chieftains in Jiaozhi as long as they perform meritorious service, but we can't?

As a result, a large number of toasts came from all directions.

Not only the local chieftains from Yizhou came in teams, but also several chieftains from Guanzhou heard the news and came to Yizhou.

Everyone has only one wish - the Song Dynasty cannot favor one thing over another.

The Mo family is loyal, are we disloyal?

Therefore, Zhang Dun could only stay in Yizhou temporarily to deal with the chieftain issue.
