On the twentieth day of the lunar month, under the holy decree, he agreed to beg for peace in Western Xia, approved the proposal, canonized Li Qianshun, the lord of Xia, as the king of Xia, and gave the surname of the country - Zhao [netizen sharing] At the same time, there was a will to pass on to Zhao Ta and order him to return to Beijing immediately after receiving the decree, and he would go to Beijing on New Year's Day, so that Tong Guan and Cai You would sign an agreement and enter Beijing with the Xia Guogong envoy

This holy decree made Zhao Ta a little unprepared, now it is only ten days away from New Year's Day, let him rush back thousands of miles can be said to be too anxious, and many follow-up things have not been arranged, see Xi asked the person who passed the decree, he also can't tell the ugly Yinmao, I don't know what the intention is to disobey the will is a big crime, Zhao Ta did not dare to slack off, while arranging the departure matters, on the other hand, to He Qufei who was still in Taiyuan and Shunzi in the capital passed the book, let He Qufei preside over the overall situation, Shun Zi Xun found out the dynamics in Beijing

That night, Zhao Ta summoned the generals of Hedong and the loyal army in Lingzhou, arranged the aftermath, and ordered Zhao Ren to temporarily deploy the soldiers and horses on behalf of Lingzhou, Shen Songyue was the governor of Lingzhou in charge of Henan affairs, the dragon general of the loyal and brave army and the commanders of the Hedong commanders and the commanders directly under the army stayed in Lingzhou City, the lion general was stationed in Youzhou, the tiger general moved to Xiazhou with the trained Western Xia army, and the leopard general returned to Taiyuan, and the guard battalion entered Beijing with him, preparing to set off early tomorrow morning

After the meeting, Zhao Ta had a private conversation with Zhao Ren and Zhao Yong respectively, and the two left when they were young, and the two went out with solemn faces, and Zhao Yong had tears in the corners of his eyes

"Second master, shopkeeper Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time," Jianxi said after changing a cup of tea for the prince

"Let him in" Zhao Ta pinched his forehead and said, Lingzhou was initially decided, the situation was still unstable, things were complicated, and as soon as the peace agreement was reached, the emperor urgently recruited himself to return to Beijing, and the uncertain future gave him a headache

"The prince..."Zhang did already know the news that the prince would return to Beijing tomorrow, and his mood was also very heavy, Shi Li said

"Well, sit," Zhao Ta nodded, "Zhang Qu, how is the business doing?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's going well, most of them have already made a move, only the few you left behind" Zhang Qu replied

"How much do you earn now?" Zhao asked again

"Lord Wang, I made a fortune this time, the Xixia people are really rich and rarely have counteroffers, at most one I received 200,000 guan, and the less one is 50,000 guan, of course, there are also half sold and half given according to the prince's orders, and there are also people who do favors, so they also received as much as 15 million guan" Zhang Qu said about the sale, his eyes lit up, "Lord, this kind of business is much faster than us selling goods to make money, and it is easy to earn."

"Is it all silver and gold?" Zhao Ta said with a smile, what kind of business is this, this is the bandits' kidnapping and redemption, and it is to rob money

"Lord Wang, yes, it's all gold and silver trading, and it's been smelted, so it won't leave any trace," Zhang Qu said

"Okay, how much money do you have in your hand?" Zhao Ta nodded approvingly, this kid is really from a smuggling background, and he knows that he will wipe his butt clean after shitting

"Lord Wang, there are about three million guan in cash, and if the goods are sold, two million guan can be recovered, why is the prince in urgent use?" Zhang Qu replied after a little thought, thinking about so much money in his heart, the prince is still short of money

"Zhang Qu, the goods in your hands will be sold immediately, and after the peace agreement is reached, silk and tea will inevitably flock in, and the price will fall sharply, don't smash it in your hands," Zhao said

"Yes, the prince is far ahead, I will find someone to sell tomorrow and return the funds" Zhang Qu replied, admiring the prince in his heart, this transaction account is counted in the bones, and it is difficult to pay if you want to follow the prince

"Zhang Qu, after you dispose of the goods, you have five million guan in your hand to mobilize, and I will allocate another five million guan to you to make up the whole thing," Zhao Ta said

"This..."Zhang was stunned, he could not sleep happily with the capital of 10,000 guan in his hand back then, after following the prince, the business became bigger and bigger, and the funds mobilized were more and more, but what a big number of tens of millions of guan, the prince actually let himself be responsible for the transfer, he was looking forward to it...,

"The emperor wants to build Wansui Mountain, to prepare for the invasion of Liao, all need money, Wang Hao does not have Cai Jing's ability, he must want to find money, he will hit the idea to Henan, now Henan is initially decided, it will be exempt from taxes, the place where you can get money is land and salt fields, but the war has just been extinguished, few people dare to come, you have to take the opportunity to buy several large salt lakes in Yanzhou at any cost, to reach more than half, enough to control the price of salt; In addition, don't let go of the fertile fields and pastures along the river in Lingzhou, as long as the price is right, you will buy them all," Zhao said

"Lord Wang, this deal is big enough, and the villain is afraid that it will be difficult to do it" Although Zhang Qu was prepared in his heart, he was still frightened when he heard the prince's plan

"Hehe, Zhang Qu, we can't just make a little money by selling some goods in the future, we have to make a big deal, your good days are still ahead, are you still afraid that there will be more money" Zhao Ta looked at Zhang Qu and smiled

"Lord Wang, the little one is indeed a little frightened, the most profitable thing in this world is salt, iron, we control the Qingbai salt in Yanzhou, which is equivalent to controlling the salt bags of our Western Xia and the Western Regions, that is, as long as our Great Song Dynasty is released, we can also share a large piece" Zhang Qu wiped his sweat and said

"Yes, but you still forgot one thing, Xixia has agreed that we will open a port in Hexi Sizhou, we want to seize this market, and sell the items we produce to distant places through them, so you also have a task to set up Sheng Hetang to use the relationship in the early stage to control this market, I am ready to hand over all the trading in the northwest to you to be responsible, you don't want to live up to this king" Zhao Ta said, he knew that there was not much time left for him, and if the direction of the Great Song Dynasty in the next few years was the same, he would definitely experience war, He has gradually moved the industry of Xiangyi to the west, this will become his base, he must use this short period of peace to complete the accumulation, there are too many places to need money in the future, but now the future is uncertain, some things have to be delayed, the only thing that can be done for the time being, first catch the good ones

"Lord Xie trusts, the villain will do his best" Zhang Qu said excitedly, now his annual salary is more than 10,000 yuan, and he will not change it for a prefect, but he is afraid that the tide will rise in the future

Zhao Ta also ordered that the proceeds of the trafficking be divided into 2 million to Sun Erqian, 1 million to Liu Song, who was working hard in the Liao State, and the rest to be handed over to the inner treasury of the palace for safekeeping

After sending Zhang Qu away, Zhao Ta met with Li Jun and Jin He, Xue Hai and others, and ordered Li Jun to assist Zhao Ren in his work, while Jin He and others were still lurking and were not allowed to reveal their identities to anyone

After finishing everything, as soon as the day dawned, Zhao Ta hurriedly washed up and hurriedly went out to prepare for the road, the generals in the house had been waiting outside the house to see him off, he told a few words one by one, but did not find the shadow of Zhe Meiluan, sighed and turned over and went out of the city, Zhao Ren and others sent the prince out of ten miles before reluctantly returning to Lingzhou City, everyone performed their duties according to the prince's instructions, but they were worried about the prince's trip, and their hearts were shrouded in shadows...

Because of the urgency of time to return to Beijing this time, Zhao Ta decided not to go to Hedong in a hurry, but to transit through Shaanxi, through Chang'an, through Zhengzhou back to Bianjing Tongguan can not leave the friendship of the landlord for the time being, but also sent a subordinate officer with a team of sergeants to accompany Zhao Ta, as a guide to contact the place, to deal with matters along the way

According to calculations, it is necessary to march more than 150 miles a day to reach the capital according to the will, the loyal army has reached the level of one person and two horses, and the guard battalion is of course no exception, and it is full of good horses, this is theoretically no problem but Zhao Xin calculated the average daily march of more than 200 miles according to the map, in order to find a suitable foothold, so he decided to go at dawn every day, to ensure that he arrived at the destination before dark, in order not to delay time on the way, lunch is solved with dry food that he carries with him...,

The team went out of Lingzhou City to the south into the Lingzhou River, it is winter, it is the dry period of the river, the roads are frozen, extremely hard, very suitable for marching, but after all, this is the lost land that has just been recovered, and there are stragglers and tribes who refuse to surrender lurking in the river valley to plunder the Song army soldiers, and Zhao Ta accompanied by more than 20 carts, anyone who looks at it is only' In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Ta did not ride the car as usual, but rode a horse like everyone else, he was busy all day yesterday, and he didn't sleep all night, and his fatigue can be imagined

Traveling for a day, they have Tong Guan's personal soldiers all the way to the front station, naturally all the way safely through the Lingzhou River in the evening, arrived at Weizhou, Weizhou, the Han Dynasty belongs to the Beidi County, Tang Lingwu County is called Anle Prefecture and Changle Prefecture, the Northern Song Dynasty Xianping period is the Western Xia land, the Western Xia Li Yuanhao changed to Weizhou, Jingsai Military Division, for the Xixia Weiguo Gongren Duo family hereditary, after its return to the Song Dynasty, it became the fief of the Xiaole family, Tong Guan sent troops to capture Weizhou after still called Changle City

"Changle Zhizhou Renduo Fengyi to meet the prince" Zhao Ta and his party just arrived at the post house, and Changle Zhizhou immediately led the crowd to meet after learning about it

"No courtesy, you're welcome, this king passed by your mansion and disturbed" Zhao Ta looked at Changle Zhizhou, this person is about fifty years old, since he claims to be surnamed Renduo, he is a member of the Renduo family, which makes him a little surprised, he asked Xiaole Zhengchuan to help Tong Guan seize the Jingsai Military Division at that time is to promote him, let him continue to be in charge of Weizhou, stabilize the rear, but now it is the people of the Renduo family who are in charge

At this time, the inspection of the Tibetan tribe came forward to meet one by one, and the last person bowed his head and saluted, which was the general Zhengchuan

"Zhengchuan, you have worked hard" Zhao Ta got up and stepped forward to support him, only to see Zhengchuan's haggard face, and he also looked a lot of vicissitudes, which shows that he has not been happy with his life this time.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials just tried their best, and they didn't dare to call it hard" Zhengchuan said with a straight face, without a trace of laughter, and seemed to be quite resentful of Zhao Ta... To be continued)
