Huang Qianshan said: "This matter is related to your family and my life. If it is done, you will be promoted and make a fortune in the future. I will guarantee that you will become an official in the capital."

Lu Zhaoyi solemnly said: "Huang Zhizhou has been kind to Xiaguan. It is Huang Zhizhou who single-handedly promoted Xiaguan to what he is today. If you have anything to do, please just give me your orders. Xiaguan will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Okay! The food from the imperial court has arrived. I have reported to Daming Mansion that a group of merchants will transport the food from Daming Mansion's Yellow River Ferry to Luozhou. You and your people will pretend to be robbers and steal the food!"

Lu Zhaoyi said: "Why is this?"

"Luozhou is in urgent need of food, especially Handan, and the food from Xingzhou will also pass through Luozhou. If you hide the food, there will be a mutiny in Luozhou and Xingzhou without food. Once there is a mutiny, I will immediately call Daming Mansion

On the grounds that he was not allowed to adjust the grain supply, he sent the memorial to the capital and read Zongze's copy."

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, he immediately became nervous and said, "Zong Shuai Yi Bo Yuntian, like this..."

Huang Qianshan interrupted him, and Huang Qianshan said: "Now is an important period for you and me to climb up. There are many people in the court who hate Zongze, and there are many people who are waiting to impeach him, but this time he has made great achievements.

"

"As long as Luozhou and Xingzhou rebel at this time, countless people in the capital will impeach Zongze, and even the emperor will not be able to protect him!"

"Since Zongze has stepped down, someone will naturally take over. When the time comes, I will ask you to be on duty in the Privy Council. Are you willing?"

When Lu Zhaoyi heard that he was going to the Privy Council, he immediately became energetic, but he also said: "If I go to the official to collect food, won't I be exposed?"

"Don't worry, someone will protect you. After you hide the food, you can hide for a while."

"What if Daming Mansion sends people to search?"

"Don't worry, Luozhou is so big, you should hide it better, it won't be easy to search, unless Zongze has a large number of cavalry."

Lu Zhaoyi was still hesitant, and Huang Qianshan said, "You don't want to? This is your only chance!"

Lu Zhaoyi thought for a while and said: "I will not give up even if I die!"

"good!"

April 20th, Daming Mansion.

Zongze met Yue Fei.

Zongze patted Yue Fei on the shoulder: "Wu Lang has made a great contribution this time!"

“It’s all thanks to Commander Zong’s good teachings!”

The more Zong Ze saw Yue Fei, the more he liked him. He was getting older, and he felt most gratified that these young generals were growing up.

"Pengju, come here."

Yue Fei and Zongze walked to the map together. Zongze said: "Our army has recaptured Zhaozhou and Xingzhou, but this time the losses in this area were also great. Xingzhou guard Liu Guangshi escaped, which led to the collapse of the army's morale and numerous casualties.

Li Cheng rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and Luozhou was also attacked."

"I applied to the imperial court to dispatch a large amount of grain, along the Yellow River, stopped at the ferry near Damingfu, and dispatched grain to Luozhou and Xingzhou. However, many of them were transported by private merchants themselves. I am worried that banditry is rampant in this area.

"

"How many cavalry do you have now?"

Yue Fei replied: "If we include the horses captured by the Jin people, I now have twelve thousand horses."

"Okay! Take your people with you quickly and patrol this area. This matter is related to the food security of these military towns and must be inspected!"

"The last general takes command!"

"It's an emergency, go quickly!"

"yes!"

Time passed so quickly, the mutiny of the new soldiers in the capital made a fuss in the court, and countless memorials and memorials fell to Zhao Ning like snowflakes.

Zhao Ning turned a deaf ear.

The money copied from the clan before was almost 12 million yuan.

Later, King Yan and others took the initiative to hand over Qian and Tian, ​​and other clans followed suit one after another, and a total of more than 6 million yuan was obtained.

There are 18 million coins in total.

But this time military spending requires 20 million yuan.

Most of the revenue from the national treasury is spent on local governments, and salaries are paid to local officials, and not much is used for a while.

Fortunately, a person jumped out at this time and filled in the money.

who?

Wang Zonglio!

Wang Zongliu was almost hung on the roadside in public display when Zhao Ji was restored to power last time.

Now I finally come to my senses.

Wang Zongliu now is not an ordinary person. He sells soap and hair in the capital.

Since last year, he has sold 10,000 soaps.

The turnover income is 1 million yuan.

He had a commission of 100,000 guan, and a profit of 900,000 guan. The cost of these raw materials and labor was less than 5,000 guan.

Today, Wang Zonglio prepared well and ran to Zhao Ning to show off.

"Officials, look, these are all sold by my ministers."

"He is really my good uncle."

"I have already started selling in Luojing, and there are more people in Luojing who want to buy."

That's natural. Luojing was the place where senior officials from the Song Dynasty gathered after they retired, and there were many rich people there.

"You have to speed up a little more and cover Yingtian Mansion and Daming Mansion, as well as Suzhou, Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, just this year. I want to see these places selling them this year."

Wang Zongliu suddenly felt a headache, and he began to regret running to the emperor to show off.

The end result of showing off is being assigned additional tasks.

"Guan Jia, isn't this a little too much?"

"Then add Jiangling Mansion."

"Guan family, this..."

"not enough?"

"Enough, enough! I will make arrangements now!"

If all these seven places are opened this year, will the revenue of the soap reach 7 to 8 million?

After all, the rich people in the Song Dynasty spent money without blinking an eye!

Seven to eight million dollars is enough for at least one year's military expenditure on the Eastern Front.

After the soap industry is brought into play, the private sector will naturally follow suit, and then taxes will be collected.

As for making money, the Song Dynasty still had plenty of money.

Don't worry, the industrial chain is the last thing to remember, and we will expand it step by step.

He felt relaxed all over, his pension was in place, and the royal estate was also increasing.

After finishing chatting with Wang Zonglio, Zhao Ning went to the martial arts lecture hall.

He went to the martial arts hall very quietly.

At this time, many officers were in class, listening to Qu Duan's class.

Qu Duan spoke with great joy.

Qu Duan was not only very good at fighting, but he was also very good at writing and eloquence.

He has been dealing with soldiers all year round and is good at extracting the core meaning in an easy-to-understand way.

And will it also talk about specific cases, as well as the troop formations, morale analysis, terrain, equipment of the two armies, etc. in the cases?

The officers listened with great interest.

At the same time, Qu Duan will also mention how to run the army.

Qu Duan was very strict in running the army, and all his experiences in running the army revealed one word: ruthless!

Compassion does not control soldiers, which is vividly reflected in this person.

In fact, most of the officers who attended the class had made national achievements in the party battle. Many of them were ordinary soldiers before, or were at the grassroots level.

These people have no idea about the art of war or running an army.

The current martial arts hall is to train them and make them grow rapidly.

Only if they grow quickly can the newly recruited soldiers be led by someone and quickly be trained into regular armies with combat effectiveness.

After Qu Duan finished his lecture, everyone was notified that Zhao Guan's family had arrived.

Zhao Ning walked to the school grounds surrounded by Ban Zhi, the secretary in front of the palace.

Everyone hurriedly said: "See your Majesty."
