Zhao Ji is in great pain now. During the month when Li Shishi came, he wrote more than 20 long lyrics. After Zhao Mingcheng's appraisal, he found a lot of ancient paintings and wrote them all. The characters are absolutely beautiful, with thin gold and the body is the best in the world.

But now he doesn't have much money.

"Tong Guan! I still had 40 million guan last month! Is there only 10 million guan this month?" Zhao Ji asked confusedly.

Tong Guan nodded and said, "The official family has a lot of money. It is not time to pay the money from all over the country to pay the participants. Moreover, according to rumors, the local buyers have already connected to pay commercial taxes to Bianjing. However, the agricultural tax, the official family is about to collect rice, so they can collect some."

Zhao Ji nodded, that's right. This is the wealthy Song Dynasty. Taxes can be collected 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: "There are only 120,000 imperial guards left in the official family."

Zhao Ji said indifferently: "It's good to have 120,000 people. I've saved me a salary to the run away imperial guards, right? I can still have some money left. The monthly salary of a month will have to eat more than three million yuan of my silver. How can I give them so much money!"

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

"I'm asking for advice." Cai Jing finally stood up and said to the emperor.

"Officials, this little money is just enough to reach Bianjing."

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

Four hundred thousand troops were stationed at Lin'an City, and the daily food, clothing and expenses were worth tens of millions of dollars a month, especially in the small court here, without food and grass.

As long as all the supply and demand of food and grass are purchased, life will be more difficult and money will be spent faster. Although he has filled a little, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Now there is a big money-spending like Li Shishi. It seems to be just over twenty ancient paintings, but the average price of one painting is 500,000 yuan. This month, Li Shishi urged Zhao Ji to buy more than ten million ancient paintings!

"I plan to sell these ancient paintings. Think about it, ancient paintings are extremely valuable. The words I wrote in my imperial pen will definitely increase their value. Do you think I am just spending money every day? Didn't you think about so many other things?" Zhao Ji said proudly.

Tong Guan and Cai Jing shook their heads together. This ancient painting is valuable, but the word "Zhao Ji" on the inscription is not valuable!

The Supreme Emperor did not adjust his mentality. He is no longer the emperor of the Song Dynasty and does not have the power of the One Word.

The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor is not popular with the people in Jiangnan, and these ancient paintings were originally traded in the area of ​​Jiangnan.

Zhao Ji’s people’s hearts in Jiangnan…

"Tong Guan, go and sell it. You must sell it for a good price." Zhao Ji said loudly, as if he was not satisfied, and said to Li Shishi: "I tell you that these more than 20 paintings can definitely be sold at a sky-high price. I have all the 120,000 people in a year of food and money."

Zhao Ji felt that he was very smart and had a unique idea.

But Tong Guan said in embarrassment: "The official family cannot sell it."

In the end, Tong Guan brought these more than 20 ancient paintings and summoned shopkeepers from major merchant families to sell paintings.

Unfortunately, there are very few bidders.

After more than twenty volumes of paintings, I only bought half of them.

It was the shopkeeper who paid a little deposit and then rejected it by the owner of the Shangjia Family.

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

Unfortunately, he did not complete the task well, and the rejection attitude of the various families in Jiangnan was extremely obvious. After the stern refusal, Wang Boyan finally led his troops into the various families.

Unfortunately, these merchant families ran very fast and were killed by Wang Boyan. The direct consequence of this defeat was that merchant families were connected.

This connection is a big trouble.

The private casting of Jiangnan has become a trend because the money from Bianjing is no longer enough.

Therefore, their technology of minting money is quite complete.

Through this connection, the merchant family and the landlords finally took their last step to recruit private soldiers.

Wang Boyan sold his soldiers and ancient paintings everywhere, and he really sold one or two pieces. Just as he was content to come to Cui's family, he was shocked by an arrow shot on the sedan chair.

The Song Dynasty banned crossbows, where did this arrow come from?

"Don't take another step forward, otherwise the sword will be eyeless!" The Cui family soldier, holding a crossbow, pointed at Wang Boyan's sedan chair and military formation from afar.

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

He immediately turned the sedan chair and ran to Lin'an City Palace as fast as possible.

"Official family! Big things are bad! Big things are bad! Big things are bad! They are rebelling!" Wang Boyan ran into the palace from outside with tears in tears.

Zhao Ji was very irritable. Wang Boyan liked to make fuss the most. He was timid and afraid of death and liked to make trouble for nothing.

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

"I have found Chazi of the Imperial City Department of Lin'an City and asked clearly. Merchants, gentry, and landlords have joined forces! Rebellion! Let's go!" Wang Boyan pointed out outside the palace in fear and shouted in great horror.

Zhao Ji was silent, and his thoughts returned to the second year of Xuanhe. When the Jiangnan Earth Dragon turned over, Fang La led millions of people. The horror suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ji!

"Tong Guan! Prince Tong, lead the imperial guards to suppress the rebellion! Hurry!" Zhao Ji shouted loudly, and Tong Guan hurriedly ran in from outside.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The imperial guards ran less than 100,000. If the rebellion is suppressed, Fang La will probably be put out! The official family cannot suppress the rebellion, and mainly appease the applause. Wang Boyan is the prophecy, and the prosecution of each family is promoted and reiterated that they should not forge bows, crossbows and armors privately."

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

Then Wang Boyan shook his tail and begged for mercy to Zhao Ji: "If I don't go, I can't go! If I go, they will kill me!"

Tong Guan said sternly: "You forced to buy and sell ancient paintings! It led to the connection between Jiangnan! If you don't go now, who will go?"

Wang Boyan was still shouting loudly, but Zhao Ji sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, dazed and dazed.

Li Shishi inserted a lychee with a bamboo stick and put it in Zhao Ji's mouth and said, "Official family, what are you all discussing? I can't understand a word. However, these lychees are all frozen in the ice cellar. The lychees from last year are frozen and are no longer delicious."

"I heard that the concubine riding the red dust laughed. No one knew that it was lychees. I wonder if the government could find some lychees from Guangzhou. I was greedy." Li Shishi smiled sweetly.

Zhao Ji shook his hand repeatedly, sat upright, and said, "Go back to Beijing! Get ready to set off immediately! I still don't believe it! My strong son! Do you dare to really put me under house arrest?!"

"Who! Wang Boyan, you are an angel and you are a sect. Prince Tong, looking for three or five strong men to accompany Wang Boyan to ensure the safety of Wang Pushe. You must let Wang Pushe comfort him with all your heart." Zhao Ji had a hint of ruthlessness on his face.

He slapped the table suddenly and said to Tong Guan: "You can go back to Beijing! Let's leave tonight."

Zhao Ji's legs were shaking. It was really, after Xuanhe's turn over the Earth Dragon in the second year, Fang La made him feel scared.

"immediately!"

"I will obey the order!"
Chapter completed!
