Qiming 1158

Chapter 541 The concept of affairs, you worry too much

Zhao Gou was indeed very angry, because he felt that he had been placed by the Restoration Army.

If you want to talk about money, talk about money earlier, and I can still make a counteroffer, or simply don’t want those useless people. The result is good now, but it’s not possible to do so, and I have to pay such a high price for it.

It's almost a year old!

The co-author just got rid of the old coins given to Jin Guo, and now he wants to give them to the Restoration Army?
Is Da Song a fully automatic annual coin supply machine? !

In this regard, Tang Situi did not dare to speak, but Zhang Jun stood up to comfort Zhao Gou.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point. It's useless to talk about it. It's better to prepare for how to welcome the princes and princesses. The whole country is very concerned about this matter, and there can be no mistakes."

"You think I don't know?"

Zhao Gou was upset, so he glared at Zhang Jun, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly pleaded guilty and retired.

Zhao Gou replied to his mood, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to care about these things, you go and arrange, and do what should be done properly, and you can do the rest, and let the clan come back. The prince came out to greet me, everything was in charge of the prince, I was tired, I was tired...let's meet my old brothers and sisters."

After all, Zhao Gou stood up a little tiredly and left the council hall.

Veterans, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to touch Zhao Gou on this issue.

It's really unpleasant to eat this.

But bite the bullet and eat it.

According to their discussions, they decided to officially welcome the captured clans back on the first day of the eighth lunar month, cross the river from Haizhou to Lin'an, and then invite the Crown Prince Zhao Tan out of Lin'an Shili to welcome them on behalf of Emperor Zhao Gou and welcome them into Lin'an. city.

After that, according to Zhao Gou's instructions, let him meet his older brothers and sisters, and the rest of the people would probably have no interest in seeing them, so they were treated like ordinary clans.

And following the emperor's wishes, Tang Situi and others also discussed that apart from a few older direct descendants of the second emperor Huiqin, the rest of the clan should be treated according to the lowest-level clan treatment, giving a low-level official position, and then follow It's enough for the small officials to receive their salaries together.

Just don't let them starve to death.

For the second and third generations in the clan, they also made discussions to let the boys study as soon as possible, allow them to participate in the imperial examinations, and let them find ways to make a living on their own. go out.

The water splashed by the married daughters, of course, they rely on the husband's family to support, and do not need the court to spend money.

Anyway, he made a lot of calculations, and talked about the price that the court needs to pay to the more than 1000 clans to the lowest level, and then sent this plan to the palace for Zhao Gou to have a look.

Soon after, Zhao Gou sent a message——

can.

By the way, the Zaifus were also rewarded for their efforts to save money for the court.

Zhao Gou really didn't want to provide these clan children with generous living benefits. At first, he finally got rid of this big burden, and now he has to pick it up again?
Even this thing is over.

On the first day of the eighth lunar month, Chen Kangbo, as the representative of the Zaifu team, went to Haizhou to meet the imperial family in person, and kowtowed to the oldest princesses and princes, welcoming them back to their homeland.

The two sides hugged and cried for a while, and the huge welcoming team set off.

On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the team arrived at a location ten miles north of Lin'an City, where the Crown Prince Zhao Tan officially greeted them on behalf of Emperor Zhao Gou.

Although these clan children who had been away from their homeland for a long time did not wait for Emperor Zhao Gou to come, but they did wait for the Crown Prince Zhao Kan, and they felt okay. Those sons and daughters of Zhao Ji met Zhao Kan as representatives, and Zhao Kan wiped his tears. When meeting them, he made the best of his posture.

Then they returned to Lin'an together.

Almost all the people of Lin'an knew that the children of the clan who were kidnapped back then were finally coming back, so they all sent out to watch the children of the clan who were rescued by the Restoration Army. In order to maintain order, the entire Lin'an City garrison had to be dispatched.

On that day, the city of Lin'an was crowded with people, but the atmosphere was not warm, and it could even be said to be a bit dull.

People didn't cheer or shout, they just looked at the clan children with strange eyes, then whispered and whispered.

These clan children who were captured more than 30 years ago are back now. They were rescued and released by the Liberation Army. What kind of emotions and attitudes should we use towards them?
People don't know.

There was no official guidance in the palace, but it was only made public.

Therefore, Lin'an City was unexpectedly quiet that day.

Among the crowd, Lu You and his friend Han Yuanji looked at the sight of the clan children riding their horses all the way through the downtown area with their heads lowered, and they were very emotional.

"In the past, tens of thousands of clan members were held by gold thieves, but now there are only a thousand returnees. It has been 33 years, alas..."

Lu You sighed and shook his head.

"It's good to be back."

Han Yuanji said with a wry smile: "Is the Jin Kingdom perished, the Central Plains has recovered, and the clan has returned after all. Is there anything better than this?"

After listening to it, Lu You was silent for a while before saying, "But it's not the Great Song Army that accomplished all this, but the Restoration Army, which doesn't know its enemies and friends. What will happen in the future, it's hard to say, right?"

"If you can send back all the clan, even if it is not a friend, it will not be an enemy."

Han Yuanji said slowly: "Isn't there two more envoys sent to the north before? I heard that the results are still good. The leader of the Restoration Army is more friendly to Song, which is enough to show that the Restoration Army is not an enemy, right?"

"That's hard to say. Back then, Da Song and the golden thief formed an alliance at sea, and then they turned their faces when they turned their faces."

Lu You shook his head and said, "If the Central Plains didn't have the Restoration Army, the people's hearts would still be attached to the Great Song Dynasty, but with the Restoration Army, the situation would be different. Their military strength is strong, and they may have plans for the Great Song Dynasty."

"Wuguan, you've been worrying too much."

Han Yuanji said: "Golden thieves are aliens, not of our race, their hearts must be different, and the Guangfu Army are all Han people, of the same race as me, may not be what you think."

"Cao Cao has never spared Liu Bei and Sun Quan."

Lu You looked at Han Yuanji and said, "The Guangfu Army is strong and capable of destroying the Jin Kingdom, which is enough to prove that its military strength is higher than that of the Song Dynasty. Even if it is not an enemy, the Song Dynasty should take precautions early."

"Wuguan, you don't think the Restoration Army will go to war with Da Song, do you?"

"I……"

Lu You thought about it for a moment, then said, "I just think that even if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, we should not give up all our defenses. After many years of Xiuwen in the Great Song Dynasty, we should rectify our armaments. I heard from my friend in the Privy Council earlier that, The level of armament along the border is far beyond imagination.

The armaments in many places have not been managed for a long time, the weapons are rusted, the bows and crossbows can no longer be opened, and the number of soldiers in the border guards is very short. The army that claims to be 1000 has only more than 600 people, and more than 300 people have been eaten. It's empty.

Even those who stayed behind were a rabble, basically responsible for chores, and they didn't conduct several training sessions throughout the year. If someone went to check, they would pretend to practice, and if no one checked, they would do nothing. Such an army can fight wars. ? "

"But how could a war happen so easily?"

Han Yuanji shook his head: "Wuguan, you still think too much, don't think too much, just do your own thing."

"I hope I think too much."

Although Lu You was worried, he nodded and said nothing.

The current situation, with his identity and status, really shouldn't say much.

After Zhao Tan welcomed the clans back to the palace, he still hosted a banquet, and all the clan children who returned to Lin'an were entertained.

Not many officials were present, but some officials from the Ministry of Rites attended the banquet with Zhao Tan to celebrate that the clan's children were finally freed from their misery.

Zhao Tan also very deliberately recruited a cook who can make Kaifeng dishes to organize the banquet, so that the elderly clans could taste the haunting taste.

Then everyone was crying again.

This scene is indeed quite touching, and those officials of the Ministry of Rites are in tears.

However, Emperor Zhao Gou never appeared.
