The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 1 Returning to Beijing by Order

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial edict agreed to the Western Xia begging for peace, approved the proposal, and conferred the title of the Xia lord Li Ganshun as the King of Xia and granted the surname of the country - Zhao. At the same time, there was an order to pass it to Zhao Qi, and ordered him to return to Beijing immediately after receiving the edict, and he must advance on New Year's Day. In Beijing, Tong Guan and Cai You signed an agreement and went to Beijing with the Xia State tribute envoy.

This imperial edict made Zhao Qi feel a little too late. It is only ten days before New Year's Day. It is too urgent to let him rush back thousands of miles away, and many follow-up matters have not been arranged yet. Seeing Xi asked the person who sent the edict, he I can't explain what Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao mean, I don't know what the intention is. Violating the order is a serious crime. Zhao Qi did not dare to neglect it. While arranging the departure matters, he sent letters to He Qufei, who was still in Taiyuan and Shunzi, who was in the capital, and He Qufei, who was in charge of the situation. In the overall situation, Shunzi quickly found out the dynamics in Beijing.

That night, Zhao Jie summoned the generals of Hedong and Zhongyong Army in Lingzhou to arrange the aftermath, and ordered Zhao Ren to temporarily deploy troops in Lingzhou. Shen Songyue was the prefect of Lingzhou to be in charge of Henan affairs. Long General of Zhongyong Army and the commanders of Hedong and the commanders directly under the army were directly under the army. Stayed behind Lingzhou City, the Lion General stationed in Youzhou, the Tiger General moved to Xiazhou with the trained Western Xia surrendered troops, and the Leopard General returned to Taiyuan, and the Guards followed him to Beijing, preparing to set out tomorrow morning.

After the meeting, Zhao Qiong had a secret talk with Zhao Ren and Zhao Yong respectively. The two left at the time of the middle of the year. Their faces were solemn, and Zhao Yong's eyes were filled with tears.

"Second Master, Shopkeeper Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time!" Jianxi said after changing the cup of tea for the prince.

"Let him come in!" Zhao Qi said with his forehead. Lingzhou was settled, the situation was still unstable, and the matter was even more complicated. As soon as the peace agreement was reached, the emperor rushed to call himself back to Beijing, and the future was uncertain. Let him A very headache.

"Prince..." Zhang Que already knew that the prince would return to Beijing tomorrow. He was in a very heavy mood and said politely.

"Well, sit down!" Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Zhang Que, how is the business doing?"

"Your Majesty, it's still going well. Most of them have taken action, and only the few you left behind by name!" Zhang Que replied.

"How much is the income now?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Report to the prince, I've made a fortune this time. The people of Xixia are really rich. There are very few people who bargain. At most, I have collected 200,000 guan, and the few are 50,000 guan. Of course, there are also half sold and half given as the prince's orders. There is also people who do favors, which can also charge 15 million yuan!" Zhang Que talked about the transaction, his eyes shining, "Prince, this kind of transaction is much faster than what we sell goods and make money , it's easy to make money!"

"Are they all collected gold and silver?" Zhao Xiao said with a smile, thinking that this is not a business, this is a bandit's kidnapping tickets and selling redemption, and it's a robbery!

"Prince, yes. They are all traded in gold and silver, and they have been remolded and will not leave any traces!" Zhang Que said.

"Okay, how much money can you mobilize in your hands?" Zhao Qiong nodded and praised. This kid was really a smuggled man and knew that he would wipe his butt clean after he was pulled.

"Prince, the cash is about 3 million guan. If the goods are sold, they can still be recycled. Why is it urgent to use the goods?" Zhang Que replied after thinking for a moment, thinking in his mind. With so much money, the prince still lacks it. Money is used!

"Zhang Que, take the goods in your hands immediately. After the peace agreement is reached, it will be decided immediately. Silk and tea will inevitably flock in, and the price will drop sharply. Don't throw it into your hands!" Zhao Qiong said.

"Yes, the prince is far-reaching. I will find someone to take action tomorrow to get the funds back!" Zhang Que replied, and he admired the prince even more. The transaction account was settled in his bones. It was difficult to pay with the prince.

"Zhang Que, after you deal with the goods, you will have five million guan in your hand. I will allocate another five million guan to make up for it!" Zhao Qiong said.

"This..." Zhang Que was stunned. He could not sleep happily if he had ten thousand yuan in his hands. After following the prince, the transaction became bigger and bigger, and the funds were mobilized. But this

What a huge number of tens of millions of coins. The prince actually asked him to be responsible for the mobilization, and he was a little looking forward to it.

"The emperor wants to build Wansui Mountain and prepare to attack Liao, which requires money. Wang Fu does not have the ability of Cai Jing, so he must have the idea to find money. He will make his mind to Henan. Now that Henan has decided to be exempted from taxes and can get it.

The money is the land and salt fields, but the war has just been extinguished, and few people have the courage to come. You have to take the opportunity to buy all the large salt lakes in Yanzhou at any cost. It must reach more than half of them, which is enough to control the price of salt; in addition,

Don’t let go of the fertile fields along the river in Lingzhou, buy them all as long as the price is right!" Zhao Qiong said.

"Prince, this deal is big enough, and the villain is afraid it will be difficult to handle it!" Although Zhang Que was prepared in his heart, he was still frightened when he heard about the prince's plan.

"Haha, Zhang Que, we can't just make some money by selling some goods in the future. We have to do big business. Your good days are still coming. Are you still afraid that there will be too much money?" Zhao Qi smiled when he saw Zhang Que's panic look.

.

"Prince, the young man was indeed a little scared. The most profitable thing in the world is salt and iron. If we control the blue and white salt in Yanzhou, it is equivalent to controlling the salt bags of our Western Xia and the Western Regions countries. We are the big ones.

As long as Song let go, we can also divide it into a big piece!" Zhang Que wiped his sweat.

"Yes, but you have forgotten something. Xixia has agreed to open a port in the four prefectures of Hexi. We want to seize this market and sell the items we produce further through them, so you have another task to establish

Sheng Hetang uses his early relationship to control this market. I am going to hand over all the transactions in the northwest to you. Don’t let me down!” Zhao Qi said, knowing that he doesn’t have much time left for him, and how many times will he do next

If the Song Dynasty is still the same, it will definitely go through war. He has gradually moved Xiangyi's industry westward, and it will become his new base. He must use this short-term peace to complete his accumulation. There are too many places to need money in the future.

But now the future is not yet determined, and some things have to be slowed down. There are only these things that can be done for the time being, and get the best first.

"Thank you for your trust, the villain will do his best!" Zhang Que said excitedly. Now that his annual salary is over 10,000 yuan, he will not change it to a prefect, and he will be afraid that he will rise in the future.

Zhao Qi also ordered the transfer of the proceeds from this trafficker to Sun 2 coins and one million to Liu Song, who was working hard in Liao Kingdom. The rest were handed over to the treasury of the royal palace. He ordered the rush to return to Beijing.

Leave the required items to Jianxi Collection Point.

After seeing Zhang Que away, Zhao Qiong met Li Jun, Jin He, Xue Hai and others again, and ordered Li Jun to assist Zhao Ren's work, while Jin He and others were still lurking and were not allowed to expose their identities to anyone, and some intelligence personnel were transferred to the north.

He focused on collecting information from the Liao and Jin countries, and ordered Xue Hai to lead 30 people in the operation team to secretly follow him.

After everything was done, the sky was bright. Zhao Qiong hurriedly washed up and hurriedly went out to get on the road. The generals in the mansion had been waiting to see him off outside the mansion. He gave a few more instructions, but did not find Zhe Meiluan's shadow and sighed.

He turned over and left the city with his horse. Zhao Ren and others sent the prince ten miles before relucting to return to Lingzhou City. They each performed their duties as the prince's orders, but they were worried about the prince's trip, and their hearts were covered with shadows...

Because of the urgency of time, Zhao Qi decided not to go to Hedong in a hurry, but to pass through Shaanxi, Chang'an, and Zhengzhou to Bianjing. Tong Guan was unable to leave the landlord's friendship for the time being, but also sent an official to take him.

The sergeant accompanied Zhao Qiong, acting as a guide to contact the local area and handling matters along the way.

According to calculations, you must march more than 150 miles a day before you can reach the capital according to the will. The loyal and brave army has reached the level of one man and two horses. Of course, the Guards are no exception, and they are all good horses. In theory, there is no

What's the problem? Zhao Xin calculated based on the map that he would marching more than 200 miles a day to find a suitable place to settle down. So he decided to go every day at dawn to ensure that he could arrive at his destination before dark. In order not to waste time on the way, lunch would be

Solve the dry food you carry with you.

The team left Lingzhou City and entered Lingzhou River. It was winter now, and it was the dry season of the river. The roads were frozen and extremely hard, which was very suitable for marching. However, this place was just recovered, and there were also scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers.

The tribe that Ken surrendered lurked in the valley to rob the Song soldiers who were coming and going, and Zhao Qiong had more than 20 big cars with him, and anyone else was looking at them. In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Qiong did not look like him.

He used to ride a car like everyone else, but rode a horse like everyone else. He had been busy all day yesterday and had not slept for another night. He could imagine how tired he was.

After a quick journey, they had Tong Guan's personal soldiers fighting for the front station, so they naturally passed safely. In the evening, they crossed Lingzhou River and arrived in Weizhou. Weizhou belonged to the Beidi County in the Han Dynasty, and was called Anlezhou and Lingwu County in the Tang Dynasty.

Changlezhou was the land of Xixia during the Xianping period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li Yuanhao of Xixia was changed to Weizhou and the jurisdiction of Jingsai Army. He was hereditary of the Duke of Wei of Xixia. After returning to the Song Dynasty, he became the fief of the Jiele family. Tong Guan sent troops to capture Weizhou.

Later it was still called Changle City.

"The magistrate Ren Duo Fengyi of Changle paid a visit to the prince!" Zhao Qi and his group had just arrived at the inn. After learning about it, the magistrate Changle immediately led the crowd to pay a visit.

"No gifts, don't be polite. I'm passing by your mansion and disturbing me!" Zhao Qi looked at the governor of Changle. This man was about fifty years old. Since he claimed that his surname was Renduo, he was from the Renduo family, so he made him feel that he was the one who had been there.

I was a little surprised that I asked Jile Masachuan to help Tong Guan seize the Jingsai Military Office at that time, and intended to promote him and let him continue to take charge of Weizhou and stabilize the rear, but now the people in power are from the Renduo family.

"Previous inspectors Zhile, please pay homage to the prince!" At this time, the inspectors of various foreign tribes stepped forward to pay homage to each other, and the last one bowed his head and bowed, and it was the surrendered general Zhengchuan.

"Thank you for your hard work in Zhengchuan!" Zhao Qi stood up and helped him. He saw that Zhengchuan looked haggard and his people seemed much more vicissitudes. It can be seen that he had not been doing well during this period.

"Prince, the official is just trying his best, and he dare not call him hard!" Zhengchuan said with a stern face, without a trace of smile, as if he was quite resentful towards Zhao Qi...
