It's rare to be complimented like this by a minister, especially Song Chu, who usually complains about poverty in his memorials, but this time it was different. This made Renzong feel very good after reading it. When he looked at Zhang Maoze on the side
, then asked, "What is Tong Nao-ro busy with now?"
Although it was said that there was more than one Tongzhilang in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Mao knew very well who Zhao Zhen was asking, and he immediately answered, "Reporting to the official, I heard that Tongzhilang was going to buy goods, and he was borrowing money from everywhere.
Once the money is settled at the end of the month, he will leave the capital for a while."
"Oh? Do you want to leave for a while? Well, that's the case, let him enter the palace tomorrow and go check up on King Jing's body."
Since the last time King Zhao Xi of Jing asked Su Shi to be his husband, Zhao Zhen was so angry that he banned Su Shi from entering the palace. It had been ten days since then, and now he took the initiative to propose it. Obviously
He is no longer angry about what happened last time.
"Yes." Zhang Mao agreed immediately after hearing this.
However, there is a small detail to mention here. Renzong also ignored what Zhang Maoze said about Su Shi borrowing money from everywhere. It can be seen that they think Su Shi is valuable, but only to make money for them. As for
Borrowing money or anything like that is free of charge.

Jiuzhou Bridge, Sufu.
Zhang Xi came and brought news from the palace. He will go to King Jing Zhao Xi to check his health at noon tomorrow, and he can stay there for lunch at the same time.
Leaving Su Shi to eat in the palace was Zhao Zhen's way of praising Su Shi.
In ancient times, even if an emperor gave his ministers a dish or a glass of wine, it was a great honor.
Of course, Su Shi had no reaction to this. But after Zhang Xi explained to him what had happened before, he finally understood why there had been no news from the palace for more than ten days. He even
He also submitted offers to enter the palace, but he was rejected because King Jing prioritized his studies.
Zhang Xi left, and Su Shi who was left behind couldn't help but sigh, "It's true that you are with a king like a tiger. It's just that King Jing likes him more and wants to have more contact with him, so he actually let Zhao Zhen have it."
So many ideas.”
"Hey, this is really a disaster."
Su Shi was also glad in his heart that he didn't do anything extraordinary during this period. Otherwise, Zhao Zhen might have been in a bad mood and might be able to bring him back to his original shape with just a decree.
And once Su Shi loses his official status, neither Zhao Shishe nor Yan Wuwo will give up the opportunity to suppress and deal with themselves.
Thinking that his fate would be determined by someone else's words, Su Shi became increasingly unhappy.
He disliked such a social system very much, and became more determined in his idea of having an armed force.
With the help of the system, as long as he has enough faith points, Su Shi can exchange them for many, many advanced things. He doesn't know if there are airplanes and cannons. After all, due to the limitation of faith points, there are too many black screens that are not lit up.
But even without these things, Su Shi had the confidence to build the strongest army in the world now that he had exchanged it for swords, guns, armor and crossbows. But the only thing he lacked was enough faith points.
When he thought that there were still too few faith points, Su Shi controlled the wheelchair and headed towards the study, "Ling'er, the young master has something to think about. No one can approach the study without orders."
"Yes, Ling'er has written it down." After Yue Siling agreed, he came to the door of the study and stood there like a door god.
In the study, Su Shi took out Wanli Tong (walkie-talkie) from the system and started calling Shi Fo.
On the other end of the intercom, Shi Buddha's voice came quickly, "Master, Master, I am Shi Buddha, what are your orders?"
"How many people are there on Shangcang Mountain now?"
"Young Master, during this period we have killed three more groups of bandits, and have added less than fifty people, but most of them are women." Stone Buddha reported according to the facts.
"Not enough, the number of people is too small, we need to increase it." After hearing this result, Su Shi said with some dissatisfaction.
"I understand, young master. It's just that if there are more people, eating and drinking every day will become a problem. You don't know, we always go to Tongxu County to buy rice recently, which has attracted the attention of many people." Shi Fo said.
He also talked about the difficulties in the mountains.
"You don't have to worry about this. You just recruit people. But remember, the new recruits must stay on the mountain and are not allowed to go down. Only when they recognize you can you give them freedom. I will personally come to you in a few days.
When you go there, make a list in advance of what you need."
In order to gain enough faith points, Su Shi had no choice but to make his decision on Shangcang Mountain.
As for the problem of feeding a large population, if there is a system in place, is it still a problem? The only thing that makes people worry now is the safety issue. We must not let any news leak out, otherwise, once people know that he has raised it in private
As for a group of bandits, haha, I am afraid that Renzong Zhao Zhen, who has always been worried about him, will not be the first to spare him.
"Okay, Master, I know what to do." Shi Buddha was also very excited when he heard that Su Shi would be coming in a few days.
"I feel confident in your work. Starting from tomorrow, you can slow down the number of trips to Tongxu County. Even if you go, you only need to buy a small amount of food. When someone outside asks, they say that the refugees have returned to their hometowns to farm. By the way.
, dig some cellars in the mountains that can store food, the more the better, I will be useful when the time comes."
"I understand, I understand, please rest assured, young master." Shi Fo's voice of agreement came over again.
Su Shi gave some more instructions. After he put down Wanli Tong in his hand, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It would be great to have this thing. No one would know that he was in the capital, but he could control people far away.
A group of bandits a hundred miles away.
...
Chunjin Palace.
Princess Zhao Huirou of Fukang got up early in the morning and dressed up carefully.
This time she did not put on heavy makeup, but just put on light makeup, and then went to Zhaoren Palace and started waiting. She knew that Brother Su would come at noon today.
Since the last time she encouraged Zhao Xi to beg his father, it didn't take long for her to realize that she was in trouble. She was extremely anxious, but there was no way she could do anything about it.
Now that he was fine, his father finally stopped being so angry and allowed Brother Su to enter the palace. Zhao Huirou was so happy that he didn't sleep much last night. He finally looked forward to dawn, so he dressed up early and came to Zhaoren Palace.
Zhao Xi was away and went to school to study with her husband. But even if only Zhao Huirou was there, she always had a happy smile on her face.
Liang Huaiji was waiting on the side, watching his master happy, and he was also happy. But for some reason, when he thought about why his master was happy, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
As a chamberlain, a man who is not a man cannot think about these things.
Liang Huaiji naturally knew this truth, but for some reason, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and then he began to hate Su Shi unconsciously.
Su Shi is a man with leg problems and cannot even stand. How can such a person be worthy of his little master?
Fortunately, Zhao Huirou is still young now, especially after she has been in the palace for a long time, and the number of men she has come into contact with is really limited. When the young master is older, and when she gets to know more young talents, there will definitely be
Have other ideas.
Liang Huaiji comforted himself like this, and then the sound of footsteps came from far to near.
Zhao Huirou, who was originally sitting in the pavilion, stood up immediately and looked expectantly towards the direction where the sound of footsteps came from.
A child appeared, followed by several father-in-laws and maids.
"My servant has met His Highness King Jing." As soon as Liang Huaiji saw the visitor, he knelt down on the ground to greet him.
The visitor didn't even look at him, but strode towards the pavilion, "Sister Rou, you're here early."
"Brother Xi, why did you finish school so early today?" Although he was a little disappointed when he saw that it was Zhao Xi who came, Zhao Huirou was still very happy to have someone to talk to anyway.
"I knew that Brother Su was coming today, and I learned things very quickly for some reason. Seeing my hard work, my husband gave me half an hour's rest," Zhao Xi said happily.
Zhao Xi, who has gone to school, is different from usual. Although he is still more than three years old, he seems to be more stable.
People need to grow up slowly. After meeting his father last time and not helping him, Zhao Xi began to pay extra attention when talking to others. It was only then that he realized that even if he
He is a prince, but he cannot have the final say on everything.
"Wow, then you are really good." Zhao Huirou looked surprised when he heard that Zhao Xi had left school early because he was good at studying.
"That's right." The child is still a child after all. Being praised by others, he became a little happy at the moment. "By the way, Sister Rou, do you think Brother Su can bring us something delicious this time?"
"This, there must be many, many. In short, our belly will be bursting." Zhao Huirou said exaggeratedly.
At that moment, Zhao Xi couldn't help but nod, "Yes, what Sister Rou said is, you don't know, I just ate a little bit this morning, and now my stomach is empty. That Zhang Xi, after a while
The meals delivered will be cheaper for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Zhang Xi, who was standing not far away, quickly bowed.
"Okay, I'll give it to you and you can continue. But now, shouldn't you go out and have a look and greet Touchi Naoro?"
"Yes, I understand. Your Highness, please rest assured. As soon as Tongzhiro shows up, I promise to push him here as soon as possible." Zhang Xi smiled along with him, but he kept walking. After speaking, people
