Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 821

"I'm going to Ezhou." Zhao Huan cut to the chase, expressing his feelings directly.He played the trick of disappearing, the purpose of which was to tell Li Gang that if he didn't let me go, I would go secretly.

The bowls and chopsticks in Li Gang's hands kept on, but he didn't speak, and put the two words on his forehead, making him angry!
Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang sullenly and was happy, and said with a smile: "I'm going to Ezhou to see, the king regards the people as the sky, not just empty talk, I will come back before the Chinese New Year. Now there is Chidao, go and come back quickly."

Li Gang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said: "I don't agree, or I will take off the long-winged hat of the minister. If no one stops the officials, the officials can do whatever they want. The officials don't believe in Zong Shao." What is Qing's ability? How about the minister? I went to Ezhou to watch in person."

"It's not that I don't believe in Zong Shaoqing. If I don't go and see for myself, I won't bear it." Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

Li Gang closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "Officials, do you remember that when we were going to attack Liaoyang, General Yue went deep alone, and the Tatars moved after hearing the news?"

Zhao Huan nodded vigorously: "Why don't you remember? That was Yue Fei's only strategic misjudgment. He has always taken it as a warning, thinking it was his responsibility, and he was often annoyed."

Li Gang picked up the candied lotus root on the table and said: "But next year, it will definitely not happen. Right now, the plague is raging in the Kingdom of Jin, and the Tatars, the Kingdom of Wa, and the Ministry of Kelei have no spare power to help them. If they can't avoid it, they will naturally not join in This is hilarious."

"Not only that, our Song Dynasty will become the largest supply place in this world! Whether it is the Wa Kingdom, Champa, Wanli Haitang, Korea, Shangjing, or the Western Regions, we all need the ceramics, tea, silk, salt, iron materials, grains, and pens of the Song Dynasty. , Ink, paper, masks, medicinal materials and other materials, I have never had such a high weight in Song Dynasty!"

"Guanjia, next year is definitely a golden opportunity. With such an important pass, if the official family is in any danger in Ezhou, General Yue's Hejian Army can only stay in Bianjing."

"Even if it's just sickness, you can't mobilize the Hejian army at will. Officials are not allowed to go."

Li Gang picked up a piece of candied lotus root and said: "At this time, the Kingdom of Jin is like this piece of candied lotus root. Let the Song Dynasty take it or take it! If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead. Officials really can't go."

Li Gang stuffed the whole piece of candied lotus root into his mouth in one gulp, and chewed vigorously to make a crunching sound, with determination in his eyes.

Li Gang swallowed the whole piece of lotus root and said: "The courtiers are waiting to eat this lotus root, the bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty are waiting to eat this lotus root, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are waiting to eat this lotus root, and the people of the Song Dynasty are waiting to eat this lotus root. We are also waiting to eat this lotus root, if the official family goes to Ezhou, if there is any problem, it will be a group of demons dancing wildly, the official family really can't go."

"Why is there another flood this year, another flood, even if Li Bangyan is fishing, no one has written a letter against the government's war next year? Even actively preparing, everyone is waiting to eat this candy lotus root of the war to make up for it This year's shortfall."

"You convinced me." Zhao Huan nodded vigorously, he made a disappearing moth by himself, but Li Gang didn't let go, and what Li Gang said was very reasonable.

For the rest of the years, it was Zhao Huan who made the effort, and it can even be said that he suppressed the voices of opposition and started the conquest, but now the entire Song Dynasty needs war.

This war is either going to the Kingdom of Jin, or it is blooming in the country. The floods and plagues are raging, and there must be someone who pays for it.

One Zhao Chengyou is not enough, even with the addition of Queen Mother Meng, there are still not enough people to pay the bill.

According to Dong Zhongshu's Confucian theory of interaction between heaven and man, the floods and plagues are God's sense of the king's punishment from heaven. At this time, in addition to offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor also needs to issue a sinful edict and take responsibility for it. Down.

Zhao Huan sent the Jinghu Navy and Zongze to rescue Ezhou with a lot of manpower and material resources. However, the disaster on the Jinghu South Road is an out-and-out fact.

If it was Zhao Huan who went to Ezhou and fell ill in the end, the guilt would undoubtedly be on Zhao Huan's head!
The emperor pays the bill, which is enough.

The people in the Song Dynasty did not have universal education, and the education in the Song Dynasty was not materialism, but similar to Confucianism education that was kept at a distance.

The word superstition had a huge market in the Song Dynasty. If Zhao Huan really fell ill this time, things would become extremely complicated.

Zhao Huan took a piece of candied lotus root, lost his appetite, and said with a sigh: "I take the people as the sky, and all the people are sick, because of the epidemic, but I can only watch them suffer, no, I can't even take a look, I'm really a coward."

"If the official is a coward, there will be no brave man in this world." Li Gang shook his head and said, "If Hu Yuan can support Ying and make an oath, he will definitely cure the official's disease, and I will let the official go."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Hu Yuan, he can't. The matter of the Liaodong plague, his heart of a medical saint was almost destroyed by his own powerlessness. Now he is all relying on the chickens in that column. If there is no The chicken that survived the plague, he may never see a doctor again."

Hu Yuan's mental state is very similar to a demon in his heart. He is used to being called a genius doctor, but he can't cure one person's sense of powerlessness in the face of hundreds of patients. If he wants to move forward, he can only look at his own creation.

"Wang Shan was revered as a spiritual official in Hedong and Hebei. He fell ill when he arrived in Ezhou. Although he recovered in the end, the officials still don't want to go without complete means and sufficient guarantees."

"The minister is full. If the official insists on going, he should tell the minister in advance." Li Gang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and finally advised him once. If the official insisted on going, he could only make sufficient preparations.

Although it is easy to put down the pick, but for him, his ambition of leveling the world has not yet been realized, so he is naturally unwilling.

In the end, Zhao Huan still didn't go to Ezhou to visit in person. Li Gang actually said a little less, but it is a point that everyone knows well, that is, the foundation of the country is still undecided.

The children in Zhu Lian and Zhu Fengying's womb have not yet been born, and it is not yet known whether they are male or female. Without national roots, they naturally have no power to act recklessly.

"This Guo Jing is really making trouble!" Zhao Huan looked at the book in his hand and felt troubled.

Guo Jing is Wang Chongyang's ineffective apprentice, the Guo Jing who fooled Sun Bo into saying that 770 Taoist soldiers can be refunded.

Guo Jing did something that Zhao Huan couldn't stand.

After this person left Bianjing, he went to the Sixteen States of Yanyun, bluffing and cheating everywhere. After being admonished by Han Shizhong, he went for a walk in the Kingdom of Jin.

After cheating for a while, he became Wanyan Zongwang's guest of honor. Of course, he was not idle, but went to Japan to continue cheating, and became the guest of honor of Toba King's daughter Fujiwara Yasuko.

Not to mention sleeping the daughter of King Toba, this person left the country of Wa by boat in July and landed at Tangkou in October.

At that time, there was already news of the plague in Wa Kingdom, and Guo Jing also received a notice from Tangkou City Shipping Department to stand by.

However, Guo Jing ran back to Bianjing again.

Tangkou sent a notice to Bianjing Haizhu. This person disembarked at Tangkou and did not implement the quarantine regulations of Tangkou City Shipping Department.

"This Guo Jing is quite capable of running, Cheng Chu, bring someone to arrest him!" Zhao Huan handed the Haizhu Tongwen in his hand to Zhao Ying.
