Zhao Zhen: There's really no way to do it. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A stormy flood has turned dozens of state capitals on Jingbei Road, Hebei West Road, and Hebei East Road into a sky-swallowing monster.
Wen and Fu almost emptied the positions of all the states and counties in the Great Song Dynasty last year, so that the millions of hungry people in these dozens of states would not starve to death. The imperial court treasury and the taxes of the three divisions were also added to this big pit.
Zhao Zhen's heart was soft for a while, and he did not dig the Shizhou River embankment, not only did he not protect the 'wall' between Song and Liao, but also lost all the money that the Great Song Dynasty had saved for decades.
According to Fubi's preliminary estimate, it will take at least another year for Jingdong Road to resume normal production. As for the two roads in Hebei, the imperial court will have to add at least five years of taxes to it, totaling hundreds of millions of yuan of silver, in order to recover.
The court has no money!
Zhao Zhen paid out of his own pocket to grow grain in the disaster-stricken areas this spring, and took 500,000 horses of silk from the inner treasury to purchase grain seeds for the disaster-stricken areas.
As for why he didn't just take the silver money, but replaced it with silk, it was because Zhao Zhen had already hollowed out the gold and silver in the inner treasury last year, and now even the use of the inner treasury has been reduced again and again.
Zhao Zhen knew that Tang Yi had gathered a lot of money, which would be of great use in the future. But these are extraordinary times, and if one is not enough, there will be chaos. Therefore, he couldn't care so much, so he had to come to Tang Yi to see if he could push Guanlan Shanghe to the front of the stage. In this way, in this year's official grain operation, Zhao Zhen can clearly and justifiably use the two and a half percent of the grain earned by Guanlan on the blade.
Tang Yi was also embarrassed when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, he didn't feel sorry for the money, but now Guanlan couldn't come out. Otherwise, it will not only be useless, but will be bad!
If one is not good, he, the Cao family, the Pan family, and the Wang family will all be implicated!
Guanlan now has sixty percent of Hualian's shares, even if it is not calculated according to the three percent given by Zhao Zhen, it can be discounted by about two million yuan, plus the huge capital of Cao, Pan, and Wang's three families of 500,000 yuan, which together is more than 3 million, and the available living money is also more than 1 million!
In case someone catches it, Tang Yi can't tell! Jiangmen and Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s, what do you want to do with such a large amount of money? Rebellion!?
Zhao Zhen saw that Tang Yi was uncertain, so he could only play the bitter card again.
"Don't hide it, the current situation of the imperial court can barely cope with the disaster, and if there are any mistakes elsewhere, it will become a catastrophe. Moreover, the Liao Dynasty has frequent movements, and our Dynasty must take precautions, increase troops to Xiongzhou, and then forcibly exempt them. β
"Da Lang should know that if the river collapses overnight, there will be a period of steady flow for several years, which is the best period for river control. However, the imperial court's finances are tight, and it has to put down the pre-governance of the river, and it is unlikely that it will be able to spare money in the next three or five years. β
Tang Yi sighed and bowed down, "The grass people also know Your Majesty's difficulties, but now, Guanlan Shanghe is really not good to push to the front of the stage!" β
Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "It's only three years, I only need the profit of Guanlan Grain Transportation for three years to get through this pass, and then it will be at the disposal of Dalang!" β
"Your Majesty...."
"The problem is not a few years, if Guanlan is launched, it will not affect the follow-up plan, even if His Majesty wants ten years of income? Guanlan Shanghe was originally His Majesty's. β
"The point is, it's easy for Guanlan to go out, but it's hard to take it back!"
"....." Zhao Zhen was speechless for a while. He also knows what Tang Yi said, but now he really can't live anymore.
"That's it....." Tang Yi knew that if he didn't let some blood go today, it would definitely not work.
"The grass people can provide a sum of money for the imperial court in their personal name, without interest, and they don't have to pay it back within five years, what does Your Majesty think?"
"I have received my heart, but Da Lang is a force after all, and it can only be a drop in the bucket when it is put into the country..... "Zhao Zhenxin said, no matter how rich you Tang Zihao is, how much can you have? What is enough?
"A million!" Tang Yi reported the number directly.
"That's the amount of money that grass farmers can use now. If that's not enough, you'll have to wait until next year! β
β.....β
"A million! Tang Zihao said he had a million!? And, not enough... There will be more next year...? β
Zhao Zhen was completely stunned...
He, the emperor, can't get a million even if he's poor now!
However, looking at Tang Yi's determined appearance, Zhao Zhen really believed that he had one million.
Zhao Zhen quickly calculated in his heart, and after a long time, Fang said: "Plus Guanlan's harvest this year!" β
Tang Yi almost didn't cry!
"Grandma, don't take an inch, okay? Lao Tzu has drained all his family resources, but he doesn't want to touch Guanlan's funds, and you still fight its idea! β
"With one million plus Guanlan's revenue this year, I can increase the army to Xiongzhou by 100,000. In the coming year, the disaster will be alleviated, and there will be no need for Dalang to contribute. What do you think? β
...
"Forgive the grass people for speaking bluntly!. Your Majesty sent more troops to Xiongzhou to prevent the invasion of the Liao soldiers, and it was all redundant. At this time, Da Liao will definitely not go to war with us. β
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Da Lang doesn't know, since the river was paralyzed last year, the Liao Dynasty missions have been continuous, and they have been spying on the reality of my Great Song Dynasty. At this time, if you don't increase your troops to suppress the Liao people, you will suffer from it! β
"Wrong!" Tang Yi shouted loudly.
was so frightened that Li Bingchen on the side trembled. The heart said, that is, you dare to talk to the official family like this! How can anyone say that the emperor is wrong.?
Tang Yi didn't care about that.
"Your Majesty just wanted to do the opposite, Da Liao didn't want to fight with us, so he kept sending envoys to appease."
β.....β
Zhao Zhen didn't speak, waiting for Tang Yi's next words. He has already figured out Tang Dalang's temperament, this kid never lets off empty cannons, so he must have a plan in his heart.
Of course, Zhao Zhen hopes that if he can not fight now, he will not fight!
"On the surface, the loss of the two major defense lines of the Baigou River silt pond and the Yellow River's natural hazards, and the heavy disasters in the north of the Jingdong River, and the land of Yanyun are in the hands of the Liao, so that my Great Song Dynasty is in an extremely passive situation, and it is reasonable for the Liao people to take the opportunity to invade the south."
"However, Your Majesty only needs to know a little about the Liao Dynasty, not only that, Your Majesty doesn't want Song Liao to fight now, but the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty doesn't want the two countries to fight more than you!"
"Why?" Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "How could Emperor Liao let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" β
"Because compared with the southern invasion, what Emperor Liao wants to do more now is easy storage!"
"Easy to store!?" Zhao Zhen was shocked violently, and there was a little more understanding in his heart, but it was not clear.
I heard Tang Yi continue: "The one sitting on the throne of the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty is not Yelu Zongzhen's son, but his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan. In the past few years, Emperor Liao has been adding weight to his son Yelu Hongji, first in the second year of Qingli, he was crowned King Yan and the commander-in-chief. In the second year, he entered the Shangshu Order, and was the privy envoy of the North and South Houses. I heard that last year, he was crowned King Yan Zhao again. Emperor Liao's desire to pass on his son but not his younger brother is almost obvious! β
"At such a critical moment, how could he start a war with the Great Song Dynasty?
