Wang Boyan said to Zhao Gou: "Your Highness, you have made great contributions to the king this time. Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

Zhao Gou sighed and said with some disappointment: "Don't all the credits belong to Zongze?"

"Your Highness, Zongze is also from the Grand Marshal's Mansion. His deputy marshal was appointed by you. Isn't his credit also your credit?"

Zhao Gou was slightly startled. According to what Wang Boyan said, it seemed to make sense!

"With such a great contribution, the officials will definitely come to welcome you in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below informed him that the emperor's special envoy was coming.

The person who came was Zhang Jun, who had just taken office.

Zhang Jun was welcomed into the camp.

"His Royal Highness Prince Kang."

"Who is your Excellency?"

"I know Zhang Jun, a minister of the Privy Council."

Everyone was stunned, especially King Kang and Wang Boyan.

Last year, wasn’t Feng Fu the aide?

Who is this Zhang Jun? I have never heard of him before.

"I came here on His Majesty's orders to greet King Qin's army and summon King Kang to the capital."

Zhao Gou said: "I accept the decree."

Zhang Jun said: "King Kang, please hand over the seal of generalissimo."

Huang Qianshan on the side said quickly: "The generalissimo is appointed by the government, how can you hand it over just as you say?"

"This is His Majesty's order. Do you have to disobey it?"

Huang Qianshan immediately retracted his head.

They were dependent on King Kang, but not to the extent that they were willing to follow King Kang in rebellion.

Even though Zhao Gou now has an army of 100,000, which is quite impressive, he did not pull this 100,000 army by himself.

His prestige in this army is not much.

Who, after eating enough, would follow him and go against the emperor?

Therefore, Zhao Ning issued an order, and Zhao Gou had no choice but to hand over military power. He had no other choice.

Zhao Gou reluctantly handed over the Grand Marshal's official seal.

Zhang Jun took it and said: "Your Highness, get ready and see your Majesty in Beijing."

"good."

Zhao Ye said: "Then how should we arrange it?"

Zhang Jun said: "Everyone will be stationed here first, and I will make arrangements."

"I dare to ask Xianggong Zhang, how long will a hundred thousand troops be stationed, and how to solve the problem of food and grass?" The questioner was Wang Boyan.

"The Xifu will make arrangements for this, so you don't have to worry."

Zhang Jun sent Wang Boyan away with just one sentence.

This means that it is no longer a wartime situation, the Grand Marshal has handed over his official seal as Marshal, the Grand Marshal's Palace no longer exists, and all military and political affairs are handed over to the Privy Council.

After saying that, Zhang Jun went out.

He went to see a person, a person named by the emperor to see.

who?

Han Shizhong!

Soon, he found Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I wonder what this Shangguan wants from me?"

"Are you Han Liangchen?"

"Exactly."

"This is Zhang Jun, who knows the affairs of the Privy Council."

Han Shizhong was even more shocked. He knew that it was the Prime Minister of Xifu who knew the affairs of the Privy Council.

Han Shizhong belonged to the Western Army, and Zhang Jun's status was higher than the highest commander of the Western Army.

"It's not that I want to see you, but His Majesty wants to see you."

Han Shizhong was immediately stunned.

Soon, Zhang Jun took Zhao Gou and Han Shizhong across the Yellow River and rushed to the capital.

The Jin army has retreated for almost a month, and Zhao Ding is constantly delivering food to Tokyo City. At present, the food supply in Tokyo City is increasing day by day.

It is still barely enough to keep a hundred thousand troops fed for a period of time on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The reason why the 100,000 troops stayed there was actually with Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze.

As a center-line defense army, if it is incorporated into the Hebei Defense Line, a considerable number of people may enter the new army and receive brand-new military training.

So, I stayed there.

And it just so happened that Zhao Ning made a small fortune by ransacking his house, so it was time to pay the army a salary and then reorganize the Hebei defense line.

On the morning of May 12th, Zhao Ding returned to the capital.

The first thing Zhao Ding did when he returned to the political hall was to hear that Zhao Guan's family had beheaded 37 heads on the first day of May.

Short name: Kill crazy!

As soon as they heard that Dazai was back, some officials immediately ran to the door of the political hall and began to cry about the frightened days they had spent in the capital.

Then everyone denounced the treacherous minister Gao Qiu and cursed Qin Hui for causing harm to the country.

Zhao Ding expressed that he was also shocked. How could such a terrible thing happen to him after he went out for a trip?

He immediately went to the palace to meet the saint.

After hearing that Zhao Ding asked for an audience, Zhao Ning immediately came in, and he had already expected that Zhao Ding would mention the matter of murder.

As a civil servant of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ding would definitely not be able to accept killing so many people at once.

In order to get rid of the prime minister, Zhao Ning has prepared a set of rhetoric.

This rhetoric will definitely turn Zhao Ding into his loyal supporter.

Zhao Ding entered the palace.

"I see the official family."

"You are back. Thank you for your hard work during this period. I have been paying attention to the news of grain entering Beijing recently. I heard that grain is unloaded at the ferry crossings of Bianhe River and Caihe River every day."

"The first batch of grain dispatched from the Huaihe River has arrived in the capital. I have just arrived in the capital to verify it. There is currently a note that it has reached 500,000 shi. Within three months, 3 million shi will gradually arrive in the capital."

Three million shi is 360 million kilograms of grain.

There are about 1.2 million people in Tokyo. One person consumes 1.2 million jins of food per person per day, and 360 million jins can be eaten for 300 days.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation.

There must be more food to ensure the normal operation of Tokyo city.

The water transportation system of the Song Dynasty was indeed developed enough, much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty that relied solely on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

This is also the most important reason why you should always stay in Kaifeng.

"So, the food crisis in the capital has been greatly alleviated?"

"If grain from Jinghu Road (Hubei and Hunan) also comes to Beijing one after another, the capital's food problem will be easily solved."

"What about taxes?"

"The minister has issued decrees to all roads except Hedong Road and Hebei Road, asking the transit envoys of each road to collect taxes. Currently, Huainan Road (part of Anhui and Jiangsu) has reported a number to the minister, and the total revenue is expected to be

3 million guan, 10,000 pieces of cloth and silk, 1 million dan of grain, and 800,000 bundles of grass.”

As soon as Zhao Ning heard this number, he immediately realized there was something wrong.

Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road were two very prosperous roads in the Song Dynasty, and many canals passed through them.

The annual cash income is only 3 million yuan?

Who are you lying to?

He, Zhao Ning, had read through the entire fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty a few months ago when the Jin army was still besieging the city, and it was almost imprinted in his mind.

When the Song Dynasty came to Yingzong, that is, 60 years ago, the total annual income reached 36822541.165 yuan.

To abbreviate it, 36.82 million yuan!

In the Song Dynasty, the average income of the twenty-four roads in the Song Dynasty was 1.53 million yuan, and the income in Lianghuai was definitely much higher than the average.

In the Yingzong era, it had reached 5 million yuan.

By the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing was in power and started the "money printing press". The country's total money income had reached more than 50 million yuan, not counting grain, grass, and silk.

The total income of Lianghuai is around 7 million yuan.
