Zhao Xu mentioned the old lady of the Yang family, and Zhao Zhen was silent.
The old lady of the Yang family stayed in the tea shed outside the city for a month. This is no secret in the city of Bianjing.
Although Zhao Zhen did not go out of the palace, he still knew.
Zhao Zhen knew what the old lady of the Yang family asked for.
If it weren't for the affairs of state than family affairs, Yang Wenguang still has military affairs to be busy now, and Zhao Zhen might have long ordered Yang Wenguang to invite Yang Ye's skeleton back to Bianjing.
Now Yang Wenguang is busy with military affairs, unable to meet Yang Ye's skeleton.
Kou Tianci and Yang Huaiyu, two juniors, for the wish of all the old princes of the Yang family, tried hard to escape from Bianjing City and head to the North, which is also considered a piece of filial piety.
In the Song Dynasty, everything that can be associated with the word filial piety is something that everyone in the government and the public respects.
Zhao Zhen had no reason to continue to stop the two of them.
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "No matter, since it is a piece of filial piety, let them both be happy once."
When Zhao Xu, Baoqing and others heard Zhao Zhen's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to be thankful that they had overcome a difficult time.
After Zhao Zhen sighed, he looked at Zhao Xu and Princess Baoqing for a while, and said, "That stinky boy knows the severity, he knows he can't take you to risk, so he deliberately took it away from Bianjing. Baoqing, so that I can find you as soon as possible and bring you back.
What's smarter is that you know how to tell me about it through your mouth, so that I can't send someone to arrest them. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen's face became cold, "For the sake of filial piety, I will not embarrass you this time."
Zhao Xu, Baoqing and others hurriedly gave salutes.
"Thank you Father (brother Emperor) Ron..."
"Thank you official Longen..."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and let them leave by themselves.
Zhao Xu, Baoqing and others looked at each other and hurriedly withdrew from the palace.
After they left the palace, Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches, and muttered: "These little guys, when they are not grown up, they always want them to grow up. After they grow up, they will find people in various ways. Trouble, all kinds of people worry about."
After Zhao Zhen murmured, he told the eunuch beside him, "Fang Jing, you go to see my sister-in-law and tell her clearly about this, lest she worry about it."
The eunuch agreed and withdrew from the palace.
When Zhao Zhen was left alone in the palace, Zhao Zhen said quietly: "Everyone in Bianjing City knows the wish of the Yang family, and there are many people in Bianjing who want to fulfill their wish for the Yang family, but They haven't done anything for a long time, and they haven't spoken. That's for a reason.
The reason is not something you two little guys can afford.
I have to write a letter and send someone to send it to the fourth brother, so that the fourth brother will watch and deal with the matter, so that the two little guys will not get into a catastrophe. "
Zhao Zhen made a decision, went to the desk in the palace, took a pen, wrote a long letter, put it into the letterbox, sealed it with fire paint, put it on the table, and then gave a light command to no one. One sentence.
"Send it to Chen Lin, and let Chen Lin give it to my fourth brother."
"Hey..."
Although Zhao Zhen's voice fell to the ground, another voice rang out in the palace where Zhao Zhen was the only one.
However, there is only sound in the palace, but no one.
Zhao Zhen dropped the letter, carried his hands on his back, and walked out of the palace.
There was no one in the palace.
And the long letter that Zhao Zhen put down did not know when it disappeared.
When Zhao Zhen sent someone to deliver a letter to Kou Ji, Kou Ji was sneezing.
"Sneez~"
Kou Ji opened his mouth and sneezed, almost snotting.
Kou Ji was wrapped in a blanket and squatted tightly on the bed.
Di Qing held a brazier and placed it next to his bed, with a hand warmer on the brazier.
After Di Qing set the brazier, he picked up the hand warmer and plugged it into Kou Ji.
Kou Ji held the hand warmer and sneezed again.
Chong Shiheng and Chen Lin sat in front of another brazier. A clay pot was placed on the brazier, and the water in the pot boiled.
The two used chopsticks to sandwich the tender lamb, put it in a clay pot, dipped it with some spices, and stuffed it into their mouths.
From time to time, there was a grunt of satisfaction.
While eating the meat, Zhong Shiheng opened his collar and wiped his sweat casually.
Chen Lin also learned to look like Shiheng, opening her collar and wiping her sweat.
It's just that there is no sweat on him.
Kou Ji glanced at the two of them from time to time, and kept rolling his eyes.
The reason why Zhong Shiheng and Chen Lin act like this is mocking him.
Others sweated hot, but you caught a cold with cold.
How weak is your body
Kou Ji didn't bother to pay attention to them. When Di Qing was making tea for him, he asked in a low voice, "How is the military affairs?"
While making tea, Di Qing said: "It has been snowing for a day and a night, covering more than two feet thick, and the horses can't run in the snow.
The enemy has no way to attack us.
Now on the entire battlefield, only our scouts and spies are active. "
Kou Ji sniffed and said, "The snow is still falling, and I am afraid it will be thicker afterwards. The enemy will not threaten us at all before the beginning of spring."
Di Qing nodded and said, "The enemy does not pose a threat to us, but we are not safe. The road is blocked by heavy snow, and our own baggage delivery will be much slower.
We now have 200,000 soldiers and soldiers. Counting those 150,000 prisoners, there are 350,000 people.
The daily consumption of food and grass is a huge number.
Our army does not stock much food. "
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "Send soldiers to escort the prisoners to clean the snow to ensure that our baggage can be delivered on time."
Di Qing said bluntly: "I sent three thousand soldiers and escorted twenty thousand prisoners to clear the snow. It's just that the prisoners did not cooperate."
Kou Ji snorted coldly and said, "If you don't cooperate, they will be killed. They have been wandering in the Liaodi for more than half a year, and they have been accustomed to a life of looting.
Di Qing hesitated: "If you kill too much, will it cause a backlash? The woman named Tuktudoyi said that she has a way to make the prisoners obedient. As long as we give her an identity, she is willing to help us. "
Kou Ji glanced at Di Qing and said coldly: "I will not accept any negotiation, nor will I compromise with anyone. If there are prisoners who bounce back because of too much killing, then I don't mind killing them all."
There was no "Geneva Convention" in the Song Dynasty.
If it is necessary to conclude a convention because of the needs of the war, it can only be the "Bianjing City Convention" or the "Song Secret Envoy to the World".
The terms in it must be Da Song, and Kou Ji must have the final say.
So Kou Ji has the right and strength to do whatever he wants on the battlefield.
Hearing these words, Di Qing said in deep thought: "Liao Di has fallen into chaos this time, and many people have died. After the war, the number of people will probably drop sharply.
If you kill too much, no one will help the court plant the land and pay taxes to the court. "
Kou Ji squinted at Di Qing and asked, "Is this something you should consider?"
Di Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, and closed his mouth dumbly.
Kou Ji snorted, "No one has migrated from the hinterland of the Central Plains. The officials sent the household department before to do some investigations and found out that there are many people living in abject poverty in Song Dynasty.
Others, although not abject poverty, are also very poor.
At that time, the imperial court can move them all together.
At that time, give them thousands of acres of land for their family, and then give them some prisoners and some horses.
I believe they can grow it. "
Di Qing looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Chong Shiheng and Chen Lin who were eating mutton also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Kou Ji with stunned expressions.
Seeing this, Kou Ji asked faintly: "Is there a problem?"
Zhong Shiheng put down his chopsticks and exclaimed: "The problem is big! If you really do that, how many people will be left in the hinterland of Da Song?"
When Kou Ji won Hexi before, doing so did not cause much movement.
That's because many people in the Song Dynasty didn't end up with Hexi, and felt that Hexi was located in the Western Regions, a poor place, and they couldn't grow any good crops at all.
So few people are willing to go.
Due to the large number of monks and porridge, the court did not dare to move people to Hexi on a large scale.
But with the continuous development of Hexi, large quantities of food in Hexi appeared on the market, and the people of the Song Dynasty knew that Hexi was a good place, and that the group of people who went to Hexi before now became big landlords.
When the people wanted to go, they could no longer go, because there are masters everywhere in Hexi.
After the imperial court won Xixia, the imperial court did not migrate people to Xixia on a large scale, because most of the land that can be cultivated in Xixia was allocated to soldiers by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.
Xixia looks big, but half of the territory is desert.
The remaining land that can be cultivated and can be used as a pasture is only equivalent to one and a half of the land in the Song Dynasty.
After being distributed to the soldiers, there will be some left for the convicts to plant, and there will be almost nothing.
If the court won the Liao Kingdom, it would be different.
Since the birth of Liao, it has been in an embarrassing situation of sparsely populated territory.
Most of the fertile fields in Liao, and most of the people who like to plow, are in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.
In the hinterland of Liao State, there are not many people farming. They all live by herding horses and sheep.
It is precisely because of this that the Liao people do not think that their Liao country is vast and sparsely populated.
But for the Song people, it was a great waste of the Liao State to use great fertile fields for herding horses and sheep.
Once the Song people moved in, it was bound to turn most of the Liao soil into fertile land.
At that time, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land will be cultivated.
Before the rise of the Song Dynasty, the territory of the Liao Kingdom was always larger than that of the Song Dynasty.
After the Song Dynasty conquered Hexi and Xixia, the territory was still not as large as Liao State.
After the Song Dynasty took Dali, the territory barely caught up with the Liao State.
It is precisely because the territory of the Liao Kingdom is large enough to cultivate an unimaginable amount of fertile land.
Therefore, once the imperial court moved the people and promised one or two thousand acres of land, the people of the Song Dynasty would definitely fall into madness.
Those who are extremely poor, poor, and even some farmers with small surplus funds will go crazy.
If they went crazy and rushed to the Liaodi desperately, the court would not be able to stop them.
And they are precisely the most important part of the Song Dynasty.
Liao Di couldn't put them all down, but at least 50% of them could be secured.
Without them, nine out of ten giants in the Song Dynasty will be in a state of extreme embarrassment.
At that time, the rich and powerful households are holding a lot of fertile land, but they can't cultivate it.
A large number of fertile fields will be turned into wasteland again.
Even if the wealthy and powerful people are hiding at home all day to create people, working hard to create labor, it will take more than ten or two decades before they can regain their vitality.
"The most important thing is not the people, but the big wealthy families. Once the big wealthy people know about this, they will definitely stop it. Even they will find a way to get to the Liaodi first and make a big enclosure in the Liaodi."
Chen Lin said in a heavy voice after Chong Shiheng screamed.
What Zhong Shiheng saw was the madness of the people, but Chen Lin saw the madness of the wealthy.
In order to prevent the loss of tenant households, the only thing the rich family can do is to swallow the fields that are to be distributed to the tenant households.
The aristocratic circle of the Song Dynasty is made up of wealthy families, so they control a large part of the speech power of the Song Dynasty, and they also control a lot of power.
They can use their voice and power to occupy what should belong to the people and what should be allocated to the people under their own name.
They can even use their right to speak and power to turn the good governance that should have been directed at the people into evil governance.
Many reforms in the history books failed for this reason.
The young crop method introduced by Wang Anshi, the whip method introduced by Zhang Juzheng.
The original intention of the implementation is to help the people profit.
But the laws they enforce touched the interests of the nobles, so when the nobles helped them enforce the laws they made, they would distort their laws wildly and use loopholes in their laws to turn good governance into evil. Politics.
Therefore, the only way for the reform to succeed and the people to gain rights and benefits from the reform is to change the dynasty.
Of course, they may not be able to obtain any rights and benefits when changing dynasties.
Unless they can be their own masters.
And only if they are the masters of their own affairs, can they win some of their own rights and benefits.
Seeing that both Chong Shiheng and Chen Lin reacted very aggressively, Kou Ji sniffed a little, and said faintly: "It doesn't matter if the people are rushing in madly, or the mad enclosure of the rich and powerful, what has it to do with us
It is the official family and the three Zaifu who should worry about this.
Among the four of us, there are three soldiers and one servant.
There is almost no power to interfere in civil affairs.
So what are you excited about? "
When the three of Zhong Shiheng heard the words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then shook their heads with a wry smile.
Zhong Shiheng said with emotion: "What you said is right, we are eating radish and worrying about it."
Chen Lin groaned: "You can't say that. If you really do that, the official family and the three Zaifu may not be able to handle it, nor may they be able to withstand the pressure.
When the big wealthy families get into trouble, the official family and the three Zaifu will definitely have a headache.
By doing this, you are making trouble for the officials. "
Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "The officials have given me all the military and political power in this place. I can do whatever I want here, and others can't control it.
If the official family really can't stand it anymore, they can let the rich and powerful come here to find me.
I can guarantee that they can come in alive. "
Kou Ji said this without saying any more.
Chen Lin knows what Kou Ji said.
Kou Ji can guarantee that those people will come in alive, but there is no guarantee that they can go out alive.
In Liaodi, Kou Ji Junzheng grabbed it and wanted to kill an individual. It was too easy.
He doesn't even need to send his own people.
Just tell the prisoners who are eager to escape.
Those captives would pounce on like wild wolves and eat the people Kou Ji wanted to die.
The prisoners in Xingqing Mansion are living examples.
In order to get rid of their nationality, they drove into the Liao State with a knife.
Frozen is to kill the Southwest Road and the west section of Northwest Road in Liao State.
Chen Lin rolled her eyes, "If you do this, you will be impeached."
After a pause, Chen Lin said again: "If the impeachment fails, they will most likely frame you. Some of the big wealthy families do not have any lower limit to deal with their opponents.
Li Di was framed, but the aspect is just one example.
Your identity is sensitive, and the credit is great.
It's not too much to say that your skill is overpowering.
It is easier for them to frame you than to frame Li Di. "
Kou Ji curled his lips and said with a smile: "They can only act like bugs, using these methods that can't be used on the table."
Chen Lin hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but reminded: "If you can't get on the stage, it's hard to restrain it."
Koti smiled dryly: "That's something that officials and Sam Jae should consider. I'm just a privy envoy."
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said nothing.
Chen Lin is not Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, she will be fooled by Kou Ji's words.
He knows some inside information, knowing that Zhao Zhen will promote Kou Ji to be an undertaking in the same school in the future.
He also faintly guessed that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen might have to fight against Wen.
What Kou Ji said just now seemed like a joke.
But Chen Lin felt that Kou Ji should be paving the way for the subsequent cultural innovation.
As Zhao Zhen's most loyal servant, Chen Lin will naturally not demolish Zhao Zhen's desk, and it is even more unlikely that Zhao Zhen's plan will be leaked out.
So he couldn't expose Kou Ji's lie.
Seeing that Kou Ji seemed to be joking, Di Qing didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said dumbfounded: "We are discussing about the prisoners. Why does the topic involve the common people and the wealthy
Even if you want to divide the land, brother, I'm afraid it will be over half a year later. "
Kou Ji laughed and said, "It's a bit of a drag. Speaking of the prisoner, you will do as I tell you when you turn around. Stay if you are obedient, and cut off if you are not.
We don't have the time to teach them to be obedient now.
They can only be treated in this rude way. "
Di Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, and said to Kou Ji: "There are two other things that require you, brother, to call the shots."
Kou Ji gestured: "Tell me about it."
Di Qing said frankly: "Jiaozhi can't see winter throughout the year, so some soldiers in the Jiaozhi soldiers are not cold-resistant. When it doesn't snow, it's nothing. When it snows, many soldiers with frostbite appear.
Some of them scratched the skin.
Even if the army doctor kept telling them not to scratch the frostbite, they still scratched it.
They not only scratched themselves bloody, but also shouted in the middle of the night.
Nowadays, some people are panicking.
I mean let them retreat to the rear temporarily.
There is no enemy to deal with behind, and there is a Ondol, as long as they stay in the room, they should not get frostbite again.
This matter still needs the approval of the brother. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji thought for a while and said: "It turns out that it's a guest. People help us kill the enemy, and we can't treat them harshly. Anyway, it is almost impossible for a war to happen this winter. Even if there is an accident, the scale of a war will not be too large.
We have enough soldiers and horses to cope.
Do this according to your wishes.
When the next time the heavy soldiers and horses arrive, let them lead the way and lead the Cochin soldiers to the back. "
Among the Jiaozhi soldiers and horses, only a part of the elites and the leading figures are from the Song Dynasty.
Almost all the rest Cao took advantage of from the captured islands and absorbed them in Jiaozhi.
Those people live in a place like spring all year round, and they are used to living.
Suddenly, he didn't quite adapt to the severe cold in the north, and Kou Ji could understand.
There is no big battle now, and the Jiaozhi soldiers don't have to stay here.
Kou Ji naturally didn't need to leave them to suffer.
Seeing that Kou Ji had agreed to the matter, Di Qing nodded and said, "Then I will arrange for this time."
Kou Ji nodded, and looked at Zhong Shiheng who was aside and asked, "How is the battle between Yang Wenguang and Gaofang Gongbu now?"
Zhong Shiheng replied: "A soldier came here this morning. Yang Wenguang and Gao Chugong have successively taken the eastern section of Northwest Road and Jingnan Road in Liao State, and they are now conquering Shangjing Road.
At present, Shangjingdao has scored two-thirds.
In five days, it should be able to break through all parts of Jingdao. "
Kou Ji nodded, "You turn around and send someone to tell them that after you have taken the Shangjing Road, you don't have to come in a hurry. Send someone to search and search. Be sure to find the gold and silver jewelry in the Ulie Tribe and other tribes.
Food, cattle, sheep and horses everywhere are also searched as clean as possible.
Then it is distributed to the government offices in various places, and the government offices are assigned uniformly by the local government offices.
Today, except for us, the rest of the Liaodi are prisoners of war.
We should use this method to adapt them to our rule as soon as possible. "
Zhong Shiheng nodded and said: "Understand..."
Kou Ji seemed to remember something, and continued to ask: "The officials of Bohai, Langxie, and Gumeng are all in place, right?"
Zhong Shiheng was taken aback, just about to speak.
However, Chen Lin slowly said: "Su Xun, the governor of Bohai Prefecture, has long taken office. Bao Zheng, the supervisor of Bohai Prefecture, also arrived at Bohai Prefecture five days ago.
The Zhizhou of other states has also arrived.
The local soldiers temporarily recruited by the imperial court were also assigned to various yamen.
Now Prefect Su and Supervisor Bao should be taking officials from Bohai Prefecture to spend the winter busy for the captives.
Wen Yanbo, the prefect of Langxie Mansion, also took office.
Through his family relationship, he credited a large amount of grain from Hedong and Hexi, and now the grain should have been shipped to Langxie Mansion.
He was the first of the three prefects to set up the prisoners of the mansion.
Zhang Fangping, the prefect of Gumeng Mansion, has just arrived.
He should be the toughest of the three prefects.
He couldn't take the captives to fish in the sea like Su Zhifu.
There is no way to credit food through the house like the Wenzhifu.
Now you can only help the captives through the winter with the little grain you allocated.
Fortunately, there are not many prisoners in his hand.
So the food you allocate is enough for others.
But it can only be used until January next year.
Now he should be worried about the captives' subsequent rations. "
