Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 259 I can't wait for a moment in Jiangnan!

Zhao Ji is in extreme pain now. During the one month since Li Shishi came here, he wrote more than 20 long poems. After Zhao Mingcheng's appraisal, he found many ancient paintings and wrote poems one by one.The characters are absolutely beautiful, and the thin gold body is the best in the world.

But now he doesn't have much money in his hand.

"Tong Guan! I still have 4000 million Guan left from last month! Is it only 1000 million Guan this month?" Zhao Ji asked blankly.

Tong Guan nodded, and said: "Officials, this money is quite a lot. It's not time to pay for the purchasers from all over the country, and according to the rumors, the purchasers from all over the place have joined forces to pay the commercial tax to Bianjing. And the agricultural tax , officials, the rice harvest is about to be harvested, so I can levy some points."

Zhao Ji nodded, that's right.This is the wealthy Da Song, who can collect taxes anytime and anywhere for him to eat, drink and have fun.

"Then there is no need to worry." Zhao Ji was extremely satisfied.But Tong Guan still said worriedly: "Officials, there are only 12 imperial guards left."

Zhao Ji said nonchalantly: "12 people are good, it saves me to pay the embargoed army, doesn't it? There is still some money left, and the monthly salary will eat up more than 300 million of my silver. How can there be so much money for them!"

Tong Guan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Officials, let's go back to Bianjing."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Cai Jing finally stood up and said in front of the imperial court.

"Officials, this amount of money is just enough to go to Bianjing."

Cai Jing's reason is simple, that is, he has no money.

The 40 troops are stationed under the city of Lin'an, and their food and clothing cost tens of millions of dollars a month, especially when the small imperial court here has no food and grass.

Once all the supply and demand of grain and grass are bought, life will be more difficult, and money will be spent faster. Although he has made up a little, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Now there is another big spender like Li Shishi. It seems that there are more than 20 ancient paintings, but the average price of a painting is 50. This month, Li Shishi alone persuaded Zhao Ji to buy more than [-] million ancient paintings!
"I plan to sell these ancient paintings. Think about it, the ancient paintings themselves are extremely valuable. The words I personally wrote in the imperial pen will definitely increase in value. Do you think that I spend my days drinking and drinking? I didn't think about so many other things Is it?" Zhao Ji said complacently.

And Tong Guan and Cai Jing shook their heads together, this ancient painting is valuable, but if it is inscribed with your Zhao Ji's words, it is worthless!
The Taishanghuang didn't adjust his mentality. He is no longer the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and he doesn't have the power to make a promise.

The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor is not popular in Jiangnan, and this ancient painting was originally traded in this area of ​​Jiangnan.

Zhao Ji's popularity in the south of the Yangtze River...

"Tong Guan, go sell it. You must sell it for a good price." Zhao Ji said loudly, as if he was still not satisfied, and said to Li Shishi: "I tell you, these 20 or so paintings can definitely be sold at a sky-high price. With my 12 people, I have enough food and money for a year."

Zhao Ji thinks he is very smart and has unique ideas.

It's just that Tong Guan said in a difficult way: "Officials, they can't be sold."

In the end, Tong Guan still took these more than 20 volumes of ancient paintings and called the shopkeepers of the major merchants' houses to sell the paintings.

Unfortunately, there were very few bidders.

There are more than 20 scrolls of paintings, and I only bought half of them.

This is still a small deposit paid by the shopkeeper, and then rejected by the owner of the merchant's house.

Tong Guan was helpless, but Wang Boyan had many tricks, he wanted to buy and sell by force.

It's a pity that he didn't complete the task well, and the refusal attitude of each family in the south of the Yangtze River was extremely obvious. After sternly refusing, Wang Boyan finally led troops into each family.

It's a pity that these families of merchants ran extremely fast and were missed by Wang Boyan. This flight directly led to the fact that the families of merchants were connected in series.

This series is in big trouble.

Private casting in Jiangnan has become popular, because the money from Bianjing is no longer enough.

Therefore, their technology for casting money is quite complete.

In this connection, the family of merchants and the landlord finally took their last step, recruiting private soldiers.

Wang Boyan brought soldiers and ancient paintings around to sell, and he actually sold one or two. Just as he was complacent, when he came to Cui's house, he was stunned by an arrow shot on the sedan chair.

The Song Dynasty banned bows and crossbows. Where did the arrows come from?

"Don't take another step forward, or the sword will have no eyes!" Cui's family soldier, holding a crossbow, pointed at Wang Boyan's sedan chair and the army formation.

Wang Boyan looked at the family soldiers on the opposite side, and turned his head to look at the crooked melons and dates of the imperial army on his side.

He immediately turned around the sedan chair and ran towards the Lin'an City Palace as fast as he could.

"Officials! Something is wrong! Something is wrong! They rebelled! They rebelled!" Wang Boyan ran into the palace from outside crying.

Zhao Ji was very irritable, this Wang Boyan likes to make a fuss the most, he is timid and afraid of death, but he also likes to make trouble out of nothing.

"What's going on?" Zhao Ji asked impatiently.

"I found Cha Zi, the Imperial City Division of Lin'an City, and I understand. Merchants, squires, and landlords are united! Rebellion! Officials, let's go!" Wang Boyan pointed to the outside of the palace in horror, and shouted in horror .

Zhao Ji was silent, his thoughts went back to the second year of Xuanhe, when the land dragon in the south of the Yangtze River turned around, Fang La led a million people, that kind of horror suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ji!
"Tong Guan! Prince Tong, lead the imperial army to suppress the rebellion! Hurry up!" Zhao Ji shouted loudly, and Tong Guan hurried in from the outside.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The imperial army ran less than [-] people. I'm afraid they will find nothing wrong with suppressing the rebellion! Officials can't suppress the rebellion, and they mainly focus on appeasement. With Wang Boyan as the pacifier, they will treat everyone The family carried out propaganda and reaffirmed that bows, crossbows and armor should not be forged privately."

"King Tong, you call me by my name! Are you trying to insult me?" Wang Boyan shouted at Tong Guan angrily.

Then Wang Boyan begged Zhao Ji, "If I don't go, I can't go! If I go, they will kill me!"

Tong Guan said sharply: "You bought and sold ancient paintings by force! This led to the connection of Jiangnan! If you don't go now, who will?"

Wang Boyan was still shouting loudly, but Zhao Ji sat down on the dragon chair, lost in thought.

Master Li inserted a lychee with a bamboo stick, put it in Zhao Ji's mouth and said, "Officials, what are you discussing? The concubine can't understand a word. But these lychees are all kept in the ice cellar. Last year's The lychees are gone. They are all frozen, and they are no longer tasty."

"The concubine heard about it, and the concubine laughed. No one knew it was the lychees. I wonder if the officials can find some lychees from Guangzhou. The concubine is greedy." Li Shishi smiled sweetly.

Zhao Ji waved his hands again and again, sat up straight, and said, "Go back to Beijing! Getting ready to leave immediately! I still don't believe it! My up-and-coming son! How dare you put me under house arrest?!"

"Then who! Wang Boyan, you are an angel, and you can appease all the sects. King Tong, find three or five strong men to accompany Wang Boyan to ensure Wang Pushe's safety, and Wang Pushe must do his best to appease him." There was a trace of cruelty on Zhao Ji's face.

He patted the table violently, and said to Tong Guan, "You can go back to Beijing! Let's go tonight."

Zhao Ji's legs were wobbling. In fact, after the earth dragon turned over in the second year of Xuanhe, what happened to Fang La left him with lingering fears.

"immediately!"

"I will obey your orders!"
