Cry for Song

Chapter 31 Ten times owed

Zhang Ping, who went to the court to report the military situation (walking: officials who reported the military situation to the court in various places) Zhang Ping rushed back to Rongzhen. Although he did not get too many rewards from the court this time, the emperor said that when the war was understood, he would give everyone a reward for his achievements. This finally had an explanation for Cao Tian,

Walking to the outside of Zhenrong City, Zhang Chengcheng saw the troops of the Song Dynasty stationed on both sides of the official road. He knew that these were the teams led by Wang. Thinking of Wang's impeachment by Cao Tian, Zhang Cheng rode his horse into the city along the official road. The guards guard at the gate saw Zhang Cheng in official uniform and stepped forward to stop Zhang Cheng and his entourage. Live: "This official, you can have an official article when you enter the city."

Zhang Cheng felt strange. He had only been walking for more than ten days. How could the soldiers guarding the city not know him? He was originally Cao Tian's consort. He was usually more arrogant to be able to enter and exit the capital. He was a little angry when he was stopped by the soldiers for no reason. "Get out of the way, don't you know me?"

The soldier had already recognized that he was walking and bearing Zhang Chengcheng. However, the soldiers guarding the city knew that the king of Zhennan had an order. As long as Zhang Cheng entered the city, he would be tied up to see him. Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the soldier immediately grabbed Zhang Chengma's rein and said, "I really don't know who you are, but the government office has a life. Zhenrong is at the forefront and enters the town. People in the military must have official documents or vouchers. You wear public uniforms. If you enter the town for official business, then ask the official vouchers, so that I can go to the government office to inform you as soon as possible.

"Fir, I'm an official of Zhenrong. I still need you to report when I enter Zhenrong. Get out of here." Zhang Cheng was very angry and waved his whip at the soldier. With a crack, the soldier's face was a blood stain. At present, Cao Tian had been beheaded by the king, and Cao Tian's old troops were almost dismissed. In the past, the arrogant people were step down. Some soldiers were often deducted by Cao Tian and others. They had long been against Cao Tian and Zhang. Cheng and others hated it to the bone. The soldiers were whipped for no reason, and they were also annoyed. Thinking of the order of the prince, seven or eight soldiers were surrounded.

Among the soldiers, I don't know who said, "Take him off the horse, tie him up and send him to the government office."

Zhang Cheng didn't know that during the period when he left Zhenrong, Zhenrong had changed a lot. He said angrily, "I see who dares to, be careful that Cao Zhijun will ask you."

It's okay if he didn't say this. It's worse. The soldiers surrounded him and laughed: "Then you can talk to Cao Zhijun." Everyone pulled Zhang Cheng off the horse and threw it on the horse's back. Two soldiers led the horse, and the other followed the government office.

On the street of Zhenrong, more and more people gathered around the scene, and the people pointed to Zhang Cheng: "Look, isn't that Zhang Cheng?"

"That's right. Hey, I don't think he's much better than Cao Tian. This guy usually relies on his power to bully others, and now he is good at it."

Zhang Cheng lay on the horse and seemed to feel something wrong. Usually, there are not so many people on Zhenrong Street. Even if they grab something on the street, even if they hurt people, there are not so many people watching. When the people see them like mice and cats, why did they come out today?

There are still children on the street, clapping their hands behind the horse and singing a small song that I don't know who arranged it: "The king of Zhennan goes to the west, drives away the enemies of Xixia, punishes the overlords, and the military order should not be bullied."

Listening to these words, Zhang Cheng has an ominous foreboding that these people are going crazy. Who gave them so much courage? Could it be Wang's side? The more he listened, the more cautious he panicked. He felt like he was being on the street. Why is the road from the city gate to the government office so long?

In the hall of Zhenrong Mansion, Wang Bian was discussing public affairs with Hu Ke, Sun Zhe and the officials of Zhenrong. Hu Ke said with a happy face, "The affairs arranged by the prince have been handled by the chief officials. Although in just a few days, it has been very effective. Now the military discipline has been rectified, and the old, weak and disabled soldiers have been resettled; not only that, the department also After the accession of household registration and farmland, the people are psychologically down-to-earth. Now when it comes to the beginning of spring, everyone will plant in spring and harvest in autumn. I believe that it will not be long before Zhenrong will also prosper.

Wang said, "This is only the first step. After all, Zhenrong is on the border, and it is definitely impossible without knowing the army. In addition, I think the people in Zhenrong are also poor enough. Have you ever thought about it? The fields have been divided, but if the people don't even have money to buy seeds, they will take any farmland at the beginning of the spring. In addition, this time, Zhenrong will rectify the military discipline. What should we do if we carry out disarmament again and have insufficient troops?

"This..." Hu Ke looked at the officials sitting left and right, and everyone was also at a loss: "Your Majesty, how long are you going to stay in Zhenrong? In case you leave, we really don't know what to do about these things." He said with a difficult face,

Wang thought for a moment: "I guess it won't be long. There are things waiting for me in the capital and Yongzhou. I have reported to the court about the Zhijun, and there will be suitable candidates to serve. If the Zhijun can't be appointed for a while, then I will transfer Wang Shao back to Zhenrong before I leave. As for the silver two for the people's spring seed development, I will build I would like to ask you to refer to the seedling method"

"What is the seedling method?" Hu Ke and others asked,

Wang was prepared. He knew that the Qingmiao Law in history was an agricultural credit policy implemented by the government. There were two reasons for the failure of his father Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law. One is that the local government was without authorization, and the other was that the apportioned strong loan was transformed into a heterogeneous tax burden. Therefore, the training and norms of the implementation personnel were Important,

"The Qingmiao method is that before the harvest in summer and autumn every year, the government borrows spare money or grain to subsidize farmers in farming. However, I would like to emphasize that the credit base must be voluntary and cannot be forcibly apportioned. In addition, it is possible that I will also open the bank's sub-name to Qin Fenglu. At that time, farmers can borrow money. If you choose to borrow from the government, you can also choose to borrow from the bank, so whether the interest of the government is more or less credible, it will be clear at a glance.

Hu Ke praised: "Your Majesty, it's a good way. I heard that the prince's governance in Yongzhou is very good. Please tell me quickly. Is there any other way to make Zhenrong richer quickly."

Wang's side can't wait to implement these new laws, the more significant the results. The better. He turned his eyes to Zhe Kejun and thought that he would probably be in the capital most of the time in the future. Zhenrong was the second pilot he chose. If he wanted to take the method of encircling the surrounding center, he must install himself in every pilot. Li's assistant, Zhenrong, this time he was a substitute, and he was good at killing. However, if he did not consolidate the success, he might lose a lot of money. Zhe Kejun followed him for many years and was also a general. The position of Zhenrong Zhijun was the most suitable for him.

Thinking of this, Wang Zong smiled and said, "General Zhe, you have been following the king's rule of law in Yongzhou. Can you say something about it?"

"Of course." Zhe Kejun said loudly, "In addition to the Qingmiao method, the prince also has the immunization method, the farmland water conservancy method, and the corresponding armor protection method for the issue of garrison defense."

Wang nodded with satisfaction. Zhe Kejun looked at a very rough man. In fact, he was much more careful than Han Derong and Wa Zhuang. Hu Ke hurriedly asked, "Then General Zhe, please tell me in detail. Let's listen to it."

Zhe Kejun blushed. How dare he show off these in front of the king? He smiled and said, "I have followed the prince for many years. These are familiar, but they are all looking at the prince's orders, and the people below will execute..."

Wang stopped him and said, "General Zhe is too modest. I have the texts of these systems. I'll give you a copy later. If you have a chance, you can slowly tell Hu Tong."

Zhe Kejun and Hu Ke and others pondered the meaning of the king's words. A bodyguard came in and reported: "Tell the prince, the soldiers guarding the city are escorting an official who claimed to take on the post of Zhen Rong and horse."

Everyone stopped talking, and Hu Ke, Sun Zhe and others whispered, "Walking and bear, isn't that Zhang Cheng?" Everyone's eyes will surrender to the king,

Wang knew that there must be no doubt about Zhang Cheng. Although he had never seen Zhang Cheng, Xue Xiang made it clear in his letter that Zhang Cheng went to the capital to ask for credit for Cao Tian and also sued himself. He ordered, "Bring him in."

Two soldiers guarding the city escorted Zhang Cheng into the lobby. A soldier stared at Zhang Cheng angrily with blood stains on his face. As soon as Zhang Cheng entered the lobby, he felt his scalp exploded and his head was stunned. He looked up at the hall. Where was Cao Tian's figure? In the middle of the lobby sat a young man in his twenties, dressed in a purple robe. I stared at myself with a straight face,

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the King of Zhennan? Why don't you see him soon?" A bodyguard drank it,

Zhang Cheng wanted to see him, but his arms were tied. He could only bow and say, "Shang Ping, see the prince." When he spoke, he bowed his eyes and peeked at the king,

At first glance, this image is not a good person. There is no way to be a court official. Wang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He asked bluntly, "Zhang Cheng, did you go to the capital to sue me?"

At this time, Zhang Cheng had already felt that the general trend had gone. He hurriedly defended and said, "Your Majesty, I am also ordered to ask your kindness."

The king glanced at him, and then saw the blood stains on the soldier's face. He pointed to the soldier and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

The soldier hugged his fist and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this man didn't get off the horse when he entered the city. I stopped him from asking him for an official article, and he raised his whip."

Wang listened and couldn't help being annoyed. This one was so arrogant and domineering. He then asked the soldier, "What are you holding in your hand?"

The soldier replied, "Zhang Cheng's whip."

Wang Bing pointed to Zhang Cheng and said to the soldier, "How did he slap you? You pay back ten times."

The soldier was stunned when he heard this. He only heard that there was an official beating soldiers, but he had never heard that the soldiers could be repaid ten times. When he was hesitating and wondering if he had heard it wrong, Hu Ke suddenly stood up and said, "The prince will do whatever you want you to do. Now he is rectifying military discipline, not only purge the soldiers, but also these. What are you afraid of, officials who bully others?

Seeing that the judge Zhenrong was talking, the soldier grinned: "Okay." The wound with a smile on his face hurt. He subconsciously covered his face with one hand and raised the whip with the other hand. He only heard the crisp crackling sound accompanied by Zhang Cheng's oh-you sound, which was particularly relieved in the lobby.
