The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 218 Keep it useful

Zhao Qi saw Wei Bochu today and suddenly woke up. He thought of what Brother Cha and Tong Guan said to him. It is not a good thing to be awesome to the master. He has always been low-key in the past to avoid being eye-catching, but now his suddenness is

Rise will surely trigger an earthquake in politics. His father may be able to tolerate a capable son, but his brothers will not like to have an older brother who surpasses them.

The civil servant system implemented since the founding of the Song Dynasty was to use ministerial power to restrict imperial power. For more than a hundred years, literati have been deeply rooted in the government. Although they are under the banner of loyalty to the emperor, they are used to being the master of their own affairs and sharing power with the emperor.

The past ministers also took it as their mission to safeguard the interests of scholars and to curb the expansion of imperial power. Naturally, they did not want to see a powerful royal family challenge their authority. Although these literati are now intrigue and intrigue, want to control the other party to death,

They fight like a black-eyed chicken, but once they feel that the status of scholars is threatened, they will definitely unite, attack them in groups, and kill them quickly...

Zhao Qi saw the cruelty of political struggle from Wei Bochu and felt a dangerous atmosphere. Although they have not yet attacked, it was because they were afraid of the invincible iron army in their hands. The old guy Tong Guan said that he helped each other

He didn't believe his oath to death, but Zhao Qi agreed with it in one sentence, that is, without war, his political career would end.

Once peace comes, Zhao Jia believes that the first thing the guys in the court must do is to divide and disintegrate his army. In the past, Zhao Jia was confident that he would keep his army pure and loyal to him, but in the high-ranking officials

With the temptation of a beautiful woman and a beautiful woman, how many people can follow him? He dare not say anything...

"No matter what others do, I will follow Er Master to the death. Even if you are dismissed from office and become a civilian, only I, Zhao Xin, can eat a bowl of porridge, and I will not let Er Master starve and freeze!" Zhao Xin stood up and said.

.

"Haha, I am a poor child, and no matter how bad I am, I still have the strength to farm and work hard work. At that time, as long as the prince doesn't mind me being annoying!" Zhao said with a sneer.

"Yes, it's interesting to live with the prince. Power and wealth are just external things. When the prince is free, I still have hundreds of acres of thin fields in my house, which is enough for everyone to be happy!" Gao Chong also said with interest.

"How could it be as miserable as you said? The prince is also a prince, and no matter how bad it is, he will not be like Wei Bochu. The prince's mansion always needs a guard guard and a servant who sprinkles water and sweeps the floor. I don't want wages, just as the prince is in charge of food!

"Zhao Lian grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and said with a smile.

"Okay. Then you can sweep the floor and keep the house in sight, and I will take care of the account and collect the rent for the prince. We brothers will be happy with the prince!" At this time, Zhao Zhi had settled Wei Bochu and returned to the account to answer.

"Haha, okay. After the war, I will quit my job. Let's find a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire together and live that free life!" Zhao Qi said with a smile, but he knew in his heart that this was just a saying. Now the Song Dynasty is the same

The slump of the building, the war is covered with clouds on the land of China, and I have already reached this point and cannot be left out. For myself, for my brothers, and for the people of the Song Dynasty, no matter whether there are swords and guns in front of me or conspiracy and secret arrows, I can only continue to move forward.

, I have fought for a good life!

... ...

The next day, just dawn, Zhao Qi was awakened by the noise. Seeing the sky, he could only get up. It was already a long time for him to wake up naturally. He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the tent.

Zhao Xin quickly followed up and put on a brocade robe for him. Although it was summer, the northwest was still very cool in the morning and evening. There were also things like eating watermelons with a stove.

"Mr. Wei, what the prince should give you has already given you. What are you doing in the early morning? Do you not look down on the little money?" Before Zhao Qi approached, he heard Xi screaming in his throat.

Sarcasm.

"That's not what Caomin means. Please tell me Xi, I want to see the prince again!" The voice was Wei Bochu talking, his words were filled with begging and helplessness.

"Haha, Lord Wei forgot that your door could not be easily entered back then, and it was not easy to meet you. Is your identity higher than the prince? When will you meet me?" Jianxi did not

Moved, still blocked there.

"This little thing is not respectful, Master Xi keeps it for drinking!" Wei Bochu actually found out the two ingots that he gave him yesterday and presented them with both hands.

"Jianxi, are you itchy again? Can't you speak well?" Zhao Qi turned around and saw Wei Bochu kneeling on the ground. The guards on duty stopped him outside the cordon. Jianxi was sneering and scolding him.

, but he no longer had the arrogance he had yesterday and was still begging Jixi to see him, "Please ask, Lord Wei, this servant is not polite, I will come down to teach him a lesson!" Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and said.

"Prince, Caomin dare not. I thought about it all night yesterday. Caomin didn't want to go back. I wanted to stay under the prince's tent and had nothing to ask for. I also asked the prince to take it in!" Unexpectedly, Wei Bochu not only did not afford it, but instead gave Zhao Zhen a gift.

He kowtowed.

"Mr. Wei, I cannot agree to your request. I don't think there is any need to explain the reason clearly!" Zhao Qi, who had always been very polite to Wei Bochu, lowered his face at this time and refused flatly.

"Prince, I know what I am. I served Cai Xiang first, and then joined Wang Fu. I betrayed the Lord and asked for glory to be despised by the world. I was despised by everyone. I was like a dog that was lost and a rat that crossed the street. I had no face to live in the world, but at home.

There are also parents in the hall, and their children and grandchildren are around their knees. They really cannot bear to abandon them in the world. Therefore, they survive in the world and are responsible for the father and son!" Wei Bochu said with tears in his eyes, "Everyone in the world says that Prince Yan is a hero and is very righteous. Yesterday,

Seeing that, it turns out that although the villain and Prince Yan were officials in the same dynasty, they had no intersection. The villain had done things that were not conducive to the prince, but when the villain was at its most downturn, he was a good fight.

It's the prince!"

"Since Lord Wei understands it, I should not let this king make things difficult for him, so as not to become enemies in the future!" Zhao Qi said bluntly.

"Prince, the villain is now at a loss. If the prince is willing to take it in, he will repay him with death. He will never give up!" Wei Bochu still did not give up and said swearing and cursing. He understood very well. Although the prince now told the people below not to make things difficult for him.

, but I have too many enemies, so the prince cannot care about these trivial matters every day. I will be killed sooner or later. Now this is my last chance to survive, so how can I let it go easily?

"Oh, Lord Wei, you have made me embarrassed..." Zhao Qi sighed at the pitiful Wei Bochu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wei, your official body has been removed. If you want to repeat it, you will understand the difficulties.

I can't do it, are you still willing to stay?"

"Prince, how dare the villain ask for his official position to be restored? Besides, I have long been worried about my career. I only want my family to have enough food and clothing, and not sleep on the streets!" This period of experience has allowed Wei Bochu to see the darkness and cruelty of the officialdom, and his thoughts are

I was also calm.

"Okay, since Lord Wei is like this, now I am the chief clerk in the shogunate who is in charge of money and grain. Do you know if you are willing to surrender?" Zhao Qiong said that the aides had a low status in the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to a personal assistant. The state was not responsible for wages and benefits.

All costs are borne by the Lord of the Condor.

"Prince Xie takes it in, the villain bows to the prince!" Wei Bochu said that he agreed, and it was considered that the employment relationship between the two was established. From then on, he will be Zhao Qi's personal secret.

"See Xi, you will give Lord Wei two hundred stale money to settle the family first, and let him settle his family first!" Zhao Qi ordered Lord Wei to settle his family, "After you settle your family, go to Taiyuan Jingliu Department first, I will go to the next step of the way."

He will make arrangements for the letter to inform the Senate.”

"The prince's kindness is remembered by my subordinates and will never let down the prince's life today!" Wei Bochu bowed again.

The army was about to set off, Zhao Qi arranged for someone to escort Wei Bochu away, then promoted the tent to the tent and fired the cannon to send troops. Now he defeated Xiao Heda's troops. There is no more troops to fight in Xixia in the future, and the army has no worries to fight, and the vast army is rushing towards him.

Xiazhou City. Zhao Qi did not ride a horse today, but sat in a carriage that had not been used for a long time. He lay in the carriage with his back and forked, rubbing his head with his head. These days, he had a headache.

Everyone was confused about him knowing that Wei Bochu was not a good person, but he took him in, but he did not explain, and only said that it was useful to keep it.

Zhao Qi was lying there, but his mind still couldn't calm down. There were too many things to consider. The current military victory did not indicate that he had achieved a complete victory. Many things after the war still needed to be considered by him, the strategic appeaser.

To stabilize people's hearts and develop the economy is the most urgent, but everything requires money and food.

Although the troops were sent to the country this time, they were mostly barren lands. The places suitable for farming and grazing were limited to the Hetao area. Although it was called a granary, due to the silt of the Yellow River, most of the rivers and canals were built during the Han and Tang dynasties.

The irrigation capacity has dropped significantly and the grain produced cannot be self-sufficient, which is also one of the reasons why Xixia continues to launch wars against Song. In order to support the war against Xia, the treasury of the two routes in Hedong and Shaanxi has long been exhausted, and it is not realistic to rely on the support of the two places.

The court is now preparing to fight against Liao, and will never spend a lot of money and grain to support it like before. It depends on the local area to solve the problem.

Years of military disasters have caused serious blows to the production in this area. This war has swept across some areas of Hedong and most of Henan in Xixia. Grain production reduction has become a foregone conclusion, and the influx of tens of thousands of troops will aggravate these areas.

The food shortage, and the northwest region will enter winter in two months. Many people will have no food to spend the winter. Then the newly occupied areas will inevitably be unstable. This requires buying a lot of grain from the mainland to save the shortage. But where does the money come from? Zhao Zhen

His eyes were fixed on salt.
