And no matter how much all this is calculated, no matter how eccentric you are, you can't fail to mention one person, the founding marquis of the country. Without him, there would be no Ganliang Road, Weiqiao Town, and a series of very profitable workshops and trades such as Volkswagen car dealerships, lime kilns, Volkswagen car dealerships, perfumes, candles, cotton cloth, etc. How much economic benefits this person has brought to Da Song, the three divisions may not be able to calculate it clearly if they count it for a month.

However, almost all of the courtiers were selectively blind, and they never mentioned the name with the money they earned from Wang Xu, and they didn't even want to think about it.

Compared with the new army, the combat preparations of the forbidden army were a bit too slow, and it took about a month to barely reach the second line, that is, the first line of the daimyo's mansion, just from a few nearby granaries, and it was still unknown whether it could be transported in full. Judging by past experience, it is a great victory to reach 70%.

After the grain and grass allocation plan is discussed, another important question becomes even more troublesome: who should command this great war related to the fortunes of the country? If there was no new army of Wang Xu, many courtiers would be willing to fight for the country, even if they were defeated, their reputation was discredited, and even their lives were lost.

But now no one knows what kind of army the new army is, let alone how to cooperate with the horse king Xu. This general who even dared not see the Qin Cha sent by the emperor, and the general at the border pass said that he would be arrested, who would dare to cooperate? It's easy to say if you win, but what if you lose? Whether he will arrest himself or not, it is very likely.

It's not that there is no one, Su Shi said that he was willing to go, but in the end the emperor did not approve. It's true that you do a good job in poetry, but you haven't done a single day of border duties, and you're not good at using troops, and you are sent to lead fierce generals like Chong'e and Li Xian, not only will they not play a positive role, but they will also cause disputes if you don't do it well, which is not convincing.

Emperor Shenzong looked at it, hey, what he said is very good, why did he shrink when he moved the real thing. You're not going, are you? Then I'll go by myself, and I'll go to the expedition myself!

Let's also let you see what it means to be a father and son soldier, the son and brother-in-law are charging on the front line, and the father is the eldest brother and the second line of strategizing, if this battle is won, who will still have the face to talk in the court?

However, Emperor Shenzong's decision was resisted by the courtiers, and he couldn't even take half of the soldiers with him without the consent of the big guys, let alone talk about the royal conquest.

In the end, it was Sima Guang and Wang Anshi who recommended a candidate, and Emperor Shenzong had no objections. Appointed Zhang Qi, the transfer envoy of Hebei Road, as the pacification envoy of Hebei Road, the governor of the famous mansion, and sentenced the real Dingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Anyang Military Road. At the same time, the founding marquis Wang Xu's famous mansion was lifted, which was a small let the courtiers breathe a bad breath.

Does Zhang Qi have such a great reputation to subdue Chong E and Li Xian? He doesn't have it personally, but the Zhang family does. Zhang Qi's uncle Zhang Dexiang is the prime minister of the Renzong Dynasty, and his uncle Zhang Yuguan worships the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and gives the prince of the country, and his cousin Zhang Dian is already the head of the vice minister and has a bright future.

He himself is also very tough, he is still the first in Jinshi, and he has good political performance in various places for many years, and his popularity is quite good. Even if Chong E and Li Xian have opinions, they will not confront each other face to face, after all, Zhang Qi is giving orders on behalf of the emperor, and whoever comes is the same, so why do you have to offend the Zhang family.

In fact, this is just one of the intentions, recommending Zhang Qi to command this Northern Expedition, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are very clear. Everyone is happy to win, and the recommender is indispensable. Lost, in addition to the emperor's back, the Zhang family also had to follow the big black cauldron.

In the past two years, Zhang Dian has risen a bit fast, and he has gradually distanced himself from the New Party, but he has gotten closer and closer to Su Shi, the leader of the Shu Party, and has also supported Emperor Shenzong and Wang Shu on some issues. Recommending Zhang Qi to pick up this errand that no one wants to take is a warning to Zhang Dan.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of winter, and on this day, seven or eight huge sea ships suddenly crowded into the old road of the Yellow River, and Wang Hao's sheep transport fleet came. If it weren't for the fact that the five-masted ships were too large to turn around in the river, four larger sailing ships would have to get in.

"The shopkeeper is really a gentleman, no wonder your lord gives you the best business every time." The change to greet this fleet was Monday and Sunday, and she still thought that Wang Hao had not been fooled enough, so she made up for it again.

"Lord Zhou has a good reputation, and faith is the royal family...... This is? "Wang Hao is so beautiful in his heart, he is the wife and concubine of the founding marquis on Monday and Sunday, and everyone is so polite to him, he has too much face. Just about to say a few modest words, I suddenly saw a group of new troops walking towards the Huangzhou, and the flag hanging on the Huangzhou was also a little familiar.

"This is His Royal Highness the King of Yan'an County in this dynasty, and it happens that a batch of goods will be escorted to the mouth of the Haihe River, and in order to facilitate the contact of the ships, the ships you brought must also be escorted by the new army." Zhou Ri still smiled so friendly, understated, avoided the important, and learned Hong Tao's set to the fullest.

Wang Hao has definitely never been to the port of Liao, and it is not clear who the king of Yan'an is, and it is normal to go to the enemy country to trade new troops. As for the Yellow Dragon Banner on the Huangzhou, he felt that the horse was the imperial prince, and the king of Yan'an County estimated that it was too, and the imperial family seemed to have nothing to hang the dragon flag.

In the final analysis, Hong Tao and Zhou Yiri are bullying people who don't know enough, no matter how rich they are, they are also turtles located on the border, if they are replaced by slightly larger merchants in Kaifeng City, they will immediately recognize what the flag represents.

There are more than 10 large cargo ships, and it takes three to five days to load the goods on weekdays. But this time it was completely different, the engineering corps and the new army completely took over the loading of cargo, and also laid wooden tracks, winches and improvised gantry cranes on the embankment in advance.

With the help of these tools, all the cargo can be slid down the tracks by strings of wooden carriages, and then hoisted onto the deck in piles of planks, and the only thing that needs to be carried by manpower is to stack it in the cabin, which is many times faster.

Half a day and one night, all the ships have been loaded in the early morning of the next day, that is, the dock is too small to dock two ships at the same time, if the dock is long enough, it is estimated that it will be completed in two or three hours.

This made Wang Hao ecstatic, and he also learned from Chen Niang to find a small book, no matter whether the painting is like or not, write down the general appearance first, and go back to learn from the cat and the tiger on his dock.

However, there were two ships with nothing on board, and only more than 200 new troops were arranged. Because the bilges of these two ships were a little seepage and wet, which was not suitable for loading goods, even if Wang Hao repeatedly explained that it would never leak, he was still rejected mercilessly by Zhou Ri.

"This lady is also a smiling tiger, not very good at talking...... "When the fleet left the dock several hundred meters away, Wang Hao dared to whisper a comment on Monday and Sunday, and just like that, he had to hide from the new army on the deck.

"Master, the villain went to the cargo hold to see ......" It was a short man who heard Wang Hao complain, he was the outer housekeeper, and he had been by Wang Hao's side since he was transporting grain to Weiqiao Town.

"What are they?" Wang Hao almost covered the housekeeper's mouth, and his voice couldn't be lower.

“…… I didn't see it, the cargo hold was all watched by the new army, and no one was allowed to approach. But how does the villain look like a box in Weiqiao Town, the wood over there is not the same color and texture as here. The housekeeper had a bitter face, and in order to prove that he was not too incompetent, he had to rely on experience to analyze the reasons in depth.

"Shhh...... Weiqiao Town ......" Wang Hao immediately gasped when he heard the name of Weiqiao Town, his nephew Wang Guan was an official of Weiqiao Town, who was responsible for escorting goods to the new army, and he also followed his convoy to Liangzhou.

Most of the goods that can be transported from Weiqiao Town are weapons and armor, and the wooden boxes loaded onto the ship look like new military rockets. Originally, it was just a guess, but listening to the housekeeper's reminder, I'm afraid it's really like this.

"Do you think that Hou Ye will use armor and sharp weapons to exchange with the Liao?" When the housekeeper saw Wang Hao's face, he felt that his guess was very well-founded.

"Shut up! Don't mention this again, do you want the Wang family to be doomed! Wang Hao listened to the housekeeper's words, his whole body was trembling, his voice was fierce, and his eyes could kill people.

"Yes, yes, the villain is confused, the villain should be damned...... the butler seemed to understand something instantly, and a layer of blue appeared on the black face that had been running around the sea for a long time.

"Explain, no one is allowed to covet the cargo hold, let alone inquire, Master Hou will never do such a thing!"

Seeing that the housekeeper was scared into this virtuous Wang Hao felt that it was a bit of a fuss, and in his heart he really didn't want to believe that the founding marquis would collaborate with the enemy, but all kinds of signs indicated that it was very likely.

If there is no very special goods, who has heard of someone being able to pull back tens of thousands of sheep from the Northern Dynasty after so many years? If the founding marquis really secretly collaborated with the enemy, where should he go? As soon as he thought of this question, Wang Hao felt a chill in his back, and the jerky hanging outside Huangzhou City came to his mind.
